Apple Watch Activity App

I am living this app and it is helping lose weight and focus on how much more active I need to be.

So in the activity app there are three calorie totals ... active calories, total calories and a small calorie number which shows just under the move total in tiny white print. It’s always a relatively small number. What is it??

thx

Please let us see Total Calories ON Apple Watch I have recently switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch and I sorely miss the Total Calories information. Active Calories don't mean anything for me, if you want to keep track of your overall calorie deficit. At least that is the case for my routine. So is there any valid reason, why for the love of god, Total Calories can't be added?? I also haven't come across any third party apps that let me see Total Calories ON the watch. I appreciate any help out :) Sketch

What does « Totals » means on the Fitness app ? Hi ! 👋 when checking my Apple Watch data last time, I noticed something under the graphics of each category (Calories, exercise and Stand) which is respectively « Total __h__min » ; « Total __h__min » and « __h Idle Hours ». What does that stand for ? I acknowledged that the one for calories means the TOTAL calories (exercise + rest ones) (thanks internet) but didn’t find anything for the two others… can somebody enlighten me ? 😆

That figure is the maximum number of calories that you burnt in any single 15 minute period.
