How do I sync calories burned between an Apple watch and Myfitnesspal?

Anoekann

Howdie guys,

Clueless newbie here.

I have a glitzy Apple watch and trying to sync this overpriced toy to Myfitnesspal. In particular the calories that is.

Myfitnesspal loads "steps taken" but for the 2500 steps I've taken today my Apple watch gives me 358 calories-burned and Myfitnesspal only 9?! I feel cheated.

Is there a way to sync calories-burned instead of just the steps? My job as a furniture restorer is quite labor intensive on the upper body but I'm pretty much stationary behind a workbench other than that.

So there are not that many steps to begin with and I guess an Apple watch is more accurate here as it measures heart rate as well? Not 100% sure on this so feel free to correct me.

Any help would be appreciated!
