Can MFP not include passive (total Cal’s burned) into your Calories Remaining? It’s such a faff on 🙈

Apologies if this has been asked many times, but having recently transitioned from a Fitbit to an Apple Watch and MFP I’m really struggling with MFP seemingly only accounting for food and calories burned by exercise, which surely is a pointless calculation?

I want to know a total of what I’ve burned (regardless of if it’s passive or exercise) minus food consumed = spare calories for the day.

Maybe it’s my fault for not researching properly, but I’m really regretting leaving Fitbit for apple/MFP at the min.

Hope someone can help.

Many Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙌🙌😎😎

    As an Apple Watch user myself, I can directly confirm that your general calories burned from activity definitely syncs with MFP. The one (unfortunate) thing that does not sync over is Active Calories, which is only a thing in Apple Health and so does not have an equivalent measurement on our side where it would make sense or be feasible to sync over.

    It's possible there was just an issue with your Apple Watch setup. First, check this out and make sure you followed the steps outlined; https://support.myfitnesspal.com/hc/en-us/articles/360032625731-Apple-Watch-App#01HNXDMTF87TGH4R3SMZTXCKG2
