Some days my move ring calories do not equal my active energy. For example, yesterday my move ring said I burned 813 cals but my active energy is at 555 kcal. This happens at least once a week. Not sure what to use to add to my resting energy to calculate my total cals burned. Don't want to think I'm burning more cals than I am as trying to be calorie deficit.

Personal if you use the health app you get a daily weekly and monthly procession. The watch shows you that day, and is also available daily in the activity app. I use watch to monitor by user activity when hitting by rings. And the health app to look back. Hope that made sense!

Active Calories (active energy) are calories that you burn by standing, moving around or other activity (including workouts).
Active calories + resting calories (those used each day when your body is minimally active) = total calories.

Sorry the move ring is just active calories
My bad.
The Move ring shows how many active calories you've burned so far. Complete your daily Move goal by burning active calories every day. Active calories, unlike resting, are ones that you burn by standing or moving around
No worries, I thought this was the case as well but sometimes my Move ring shows a higher amount of calories burned vs. Active Energy so I just don't know which one to reference when I calculate my calorie deficit for the day.
Yes that does! I think that's what I'll do. I'm a spreadsheets kind of person just because physically inputting numbers keeps me motivated and on track so that's why I was looking at the dailies. I wouldn't really care if it was a ~50kcal difference between the two apps but it is usually ~400kcal difference when they are not the same.
Looking back at the activity app, it looks like the numbers are different on days that I log my workout with a 3rd party app. My Apple Watch/ Activity app recognizes the 3rd party and tracks those calories instead of the Apple Watch for the workout period. I guess because of the prioritization system in the Health app it is disregarding those numbers and only using the Watch's numbers at that time which would read 0 since the Watch switches to the 3rd party app.
They use the same data. It how you display it.
From what I have read, these two numbers are supposed to be the same they are not. Which one is more accurate?
Move ring is resting and active calories. On your health app it is broken down to two separate parts.
This doesn't answer my question. I need to know if the Active Energy displayed in the Health app or the Move Ring in the Activity app is more accurate.
In your images, the total calories burned between the two apps are drastically different. How do you know which one to use to monitor your progress?
So the answer is to us move ring to see the total used for the day.
If the move ring is both active and resting calories, then shouldn't my move ring be at ~2000 cals and not 800? This isn't very clear.
How is it set up in your health app kJ or kcal?
Yes make sense as I used Strava app on me back and can extra data. Well best of luck with you active life style.
move calories not the same as active energy
