apple watch active calorie difference
People with Apple watch- what do you do? Do you manually add your active cals? My apple watch adds my workouts, but not my other active cals and I wonder if I should manually add them myself. For example. I run 4 miles and burn 345 active cals, then do strength training and burn 86 active cals, I also did lots of walking…

Nike Apple Watch VS Fitbit???
I just got an Apple Watch- after using my Fitbit with MFP for years. I’ve lost 25lbs over the past year following the calories adjusted by my Fitbit based on steps/exercise- but now that I switched to the Apple Watch, the same number of steps is not adding any “exercise calories” to my goal. Usually, when I hit even 6,000…

When I walk at ALL.. it starts adjusting how many cals I can add to (supposedly) still reach my goal. However- on an average work day I’ll burn 1800 cals by the end of the day according to my…

Why 1200 minimum??
I’m frustrated by a plateau. I’ve used this app before to lose weight- so I know how to do it. This current plateau has me beyond frustrated- but I’m wondering if I can just drop my calories below 1200- here is my logic. They say not to go under 1200 if you’re a woman- but at my height and weight- my BMR is 1427. Another…
