How many Calories should I set on My Apple Watch?

In this blog, we will tell you about the moving ring, the one completed by burning active calories and the one you're thinking about when deciding how many calories to put on your Apple Watch. The Apple Watch has three rings:

Move, Exercise, and Stand. You'll find them on the Activity App on your Apple Watch or the Fitness App on your iPhone.

How many calories should I enter on my Apple Watch?

How do you know how many calories you consume during the day? It is difficult to answer that question. What is clear, however, is that your data plays a vital role in calculating this metric.

It is important to set a challenging yet achievable (with some effort, of course) number of calories for your move goal. So there is no exact answer; it depends on your lifestyle.

  • Do you work from home without exercising daily? We recommend that you set your goal at 300 calories. There will be days when you will struggle to achieve this. However, it is the minimum we should burn for our health. So, use the time you save going to and from the office for a walk, stretch your legs, and get some sunlight, which is also good for our health. Kill two birds with one stone!
  • Do you work from home and exercise almost every day? Set your goal at 400 calories. Stand up when your Apple Watch tells you to, and you'll be sure to achieve it.
  • Do you go to the office or university and sit there for several hours at a time? Take the opportunity to walk or cycle! If so, you can set your goal to 500 calories.
  • If you exercise several times a week, don't hesitate: 600 calories is what you should aim for. Working out at the gym, you'll burn around 300. Or if you prefer to run 5 km, you will burn about 200 calories; if you reach 10 km, you will burn more than 300 calories.

How to change the move goal?

Do you already know how many calories you consume per day? Whether you always meet your goal or rarely manage it, changing your Apple Watch move goal is as quick as following these four simple steps:

Step 1 - Open the Activity app.
