When tracking a workout with your Apple Watch do you use total calories or active calories?

    Active. Total calories includes the calories you would have burned if you’d been sitting on the couch or asleep or something during that time period. Active calories is the total burned just by doing the workout.

    ^ yep.

    The active should be the only ones showing up in your food logging diary. Active being the ones where you’ve started the timer on an exercise.
