What are the differences between active calories and total calories

• Active calories: Active calories are the calories you burn when you work out or simply walk.
• Total calories: As the name suggests, it is a sum. Specifically, the sum of active calories and calories at rest. Those that your body burns naturally, even when you're watching a movie on the sofa or sleeping.

Total calories = Active calories + calories at rest.

Apple Watch calculates both active and total calories based on your activity level, age, height, weight, gender, and heart rate.

How do I choose which type of calories to see on my Apple Watch?

• From your iPhone, go to the Watch App and go to Workout.
• The first option you will see is: "Workout view". Here you can choose the metrics according to the type of training. Personalise it as you like!

Where do you see the total active calories and total calories consumed on the Apple Watch?

The movement ring (the red one) shows how many active calories you have burned so far. The intention is to reach the daily Movement goal by burning active calories every day. Therefore, you will have to go for a walk, go to the gym or jump a few times at home to close the ring.

You will see how much you have intentionally burned (active calories), how much your body has burned on its own, + all the movements you have done (total calories).
