Applewatch stops recording calories after a workout.

Mattmsk001

(Using an Applewatch) If I go about my day as normal and dont record an exercise myfitnesspal will take the steps from my watch and adjust the calories accordingly. However.. If I do a workout with my watch it will record the calories burned during that workout, But will not report anymore calories after that. I can do a workout that burns 500 calories. It will record that, but then I could walk say 10k steps afterwards and there wont be any other adjustment. How do I make it so I can sync my activity other than a workout.

This is totally normal.

If you are seeing a step count and a 0 for the adjustment, then you have not yet earned an adjustment.

The adjustment is actually not based on your step count, but instead based on your entire activity for the day. The step count is there as an incentive and though it does contribute to part of your activity level, it's not the sole contributor.

Therefore x amount of steps does not mean you will receive x amount of extra calories.

The way the adjustment is derived is by comparing your total calories burned from your tracker against the total calories already provided by MyFitnessPal.

When you have earned more calories than MyFitnessPal has already provided, you will then see the difference as your adjustment.

** You can view a breakdown of this calculation by tapping on the adjustment line and then on the adjustment itself (above the Learn More button) in the app, or by clicking the "i" next to the adjustment line in the Cardiovascular section online at www.MyFitnessPal.com **

Please also note: the total calories from MyFitnessPal will include any calories instantly provided by adding separate exercises (outside of your partner adjustment) to MyFitnessPal, along with the calories needed to reach the goals you set when joining the program.

My steps are not accurately recorded. Ex yesterday I had over 21,000 steps and it says only 330 steps in my daily diary. Why is this???? It also did not pick up the 30 min of indoor bike.
