    Is your iwatch calories burned matching your mfp calories burned?

    I do, not sure how I feel about it. I also have a FitBit, love that (still wear it with the IWatch lol). I really wanted the FitBit Surge, but received the IWatch as a gift instead. How do you like yours?

    The MFP calories appear to be 'total calories', which does match what my watch reports for 'total calories'.
    However, this includes calories that you would have burned at work in front of a computer, or lying on the couch.

    The watch only forwards 'active calories' to MFP, which is the additional calories you burned while working out.

    Most people only eat back half of the calories that MFP calculates for them, because the MFP calorie calc includes the 'total calories'.
