Apple Watch- Help Needed
I’ve done a search & know that Apple Watch & MFP don’t play nicely. I switched from a Fitbit Flex and have questions for those of you who use Apple Watch. I have given access to the Health Kit to sync with MFP. I have also selected Apple Watch to count steps. When I deselect the watch, it defaults my phone to track steps.…

Resting Energy
The last few days, my resting energy changed by a few hundred calories. I manually made edits to match the trend as my activity level has not changed & I thought it’s a glitch. This morning, my resting was set as what my total number would be for the day. Has anyone else experienced issues with jumps in the resting energy?…

Calories Overestimated?
I just got mine on Sunday and wanted some insight on the data. I switched from Fitbit Flex 2 & think AW calories are a lot higher. On Tuesday, I had 16,069 steps, 733 active calories from 3 miles run, 30 min of lifting & steps throughout the day. According to AW, I burned 3,083 calories. This is a huge number for someone…

Does anyone know any info on this? I'm assuming I'm burning more on leg day but can't really find any research on this. I also follow a few bikini competitors on IG who up their calories on leg day.

Dropping Water Weight
Before weddings and events, I used to go low carb to drop some water weight. I haven't done this in a while. I'd like to do it again bc I'm in a wedding next week. If I'm lifting and doing 20 min of cardio, how low should I keep my carbs 5 days out?

UP24 and TDEE
When I use this calculator, I get the same BMR as UP tells me. If I set the calculator to no exercise (since I can track exercise calories burned using the app), it tells me my TDEE is 1550. UP will remain at BMR and only increase with steps/activity logged. On a non active day, UP will only have me at 1385 by midnight.…

Negative Calories - Confused
My negative adjustments have been disabled, but today, it added calories back into what I should consume. I ran 4 miles and I use UP24. I haven’t had an issue since I got the UP in December. My goal is to lose weight by creating a deficit, so I do not want to eat back the 400 I burned through exercise. If my negative…
