It took me a while to get used to the difference since my watch doesn't count steps as well as my old Fitbit. When I previously used MFP with my Fitbit I kept negative adjustments on which helped since at that time Fitbit logged total calories.Ībout Apple Watch for fitness use. If I were aiming for a deficit, I would probably turn off negative adjustments and set my MFP setting to sedentary. Right now I am logging food and letting my watch log activity to find my TDEE and assess my nutrition. This is mainly an issue if you have negative adjustments turned on. (I also use an iPhone and wanted to use some of the productivity apps on the watch).Ībout MFP, Apple just logs the activity calories (not the total).

I have a 6, I switched from a Fitbit to an Apple Watch for non-fitness reasons.

On the Apple Watch it gives both numbers so you can see how many calories you burned for your actual workout. But that seems reasonable to me as the difference between Active and Total calories is what you’d be burning by just being alive and sitting in the sofa, so you shouldn’t really get extra exercise calories for that. I’ve just checked and it sends the ‘Active Kilocalories’ not the ‘Total’ calories. I can't do this myself since I don't have an Apple watch, although I do know where to look on the MFP app to find the data. That is what I understood the problem to be, but whether it's valid for all devices or only some, or whether this problem has been resolved can only be checked by comparing the Apple data with the data MFP receives. Depending on your activity level and whether or not you exercise, this problem maybe unnoticeable or very noticeable, it depends. But the calorie number Apple sends over to MFP for the calorie adjustment is actually the wrong number (not the total calorie burn for the day). The problem is not immediately apparent, as everything looks to be working fine. It was originally released in 2017 and they are still selling it but will they next year? Obviously it’s a lot cheaper than the new model but it’s still pretty pricey so you need to weigh up it’s potential longevity against the cost saving. The only thought I have with going for the series 3 is that it isn’t know how long Apple will continue to support it. I haven’t seen the posts about the issues others have had but perhaps they have an older model?

I’ve had no problems with my watch linking to MFP.
