Resting energy too low

Hey aman69,

It sounds like you're having an issue with the health data that's being recorded after updating. We can help! First, software updates were recently released. Let's make sure both your iPhone and Apple Watch are updated:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Update your Apple Watch

Update apps or use automatic downloads

If no updates are available, or the issue continues, let's follow these steps to see if they help: Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch

If these articles do not help and this is not what you're experiencing, respond back with some more details.

Keep us posted on the results.

Cheers.

aman69,

That's good to know. Were you also able to go through the steps in the resource titled "Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch"? If so, we recommend erasing and pairing your watch again: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch

Let us know how that goes.

Take care.

We are all having similar problems, loss of accurate data like resting energy levels, stand bars don’t show up, trends have vanished. This is since ios14. Apple need to sort this problem out rather than suggest it’s the fault of the users. The original watch interface and links to the health app was fine. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Apples latest update has added nothing to my experience with the watch.

I'm having the same problem. My resting energy has not only dropped to less than a third of what it was before, it is also now well below any credible estimate for an adult human: it dropped from almost 7,000 kJ (around 1700 calories) a couple of weeks ago to only 2,000 kJ (478 calories)/day. I'm a fit, healthy, active but overweight adult of normal height, so this is just not possible.

In addition, my "active energy" in the health app is now much lower than my "move" energy in the activity app, every day: shouldn't they match?

Finally, I am now seeing long gaps in my heart rate record during workouts, which I did not see before. I have not changed how I wear the watch nor the type of workout that I am doing.

These changes happened at about the time of the last major iOS and watchOS updates.

I have an Apple Watch 4 with iPhone X. I have all the latest software updates and have automatic downloads switched on. I have tried resetting both devices, with no effect. I take long walks with the watch's heart rate monitor active every day, so it should not be a calibration issue. I wear the watch all day every day.

I'll add that I have every reason to believe that the old estimate of my resting and active energy were accurate: I have been tracking my energy intake (counting calories very carefully) and energy burned (resting + active energy) for the last four months. Until the change, my rate of weight loss was almost exactly what would have been predicted from the difference between the two.

Same issue, very annoying. My apple watch registers higher resting energy while the watch is charging than in use. So far today (7 p.m.) it has totally registered 800 kcal of which 600 is active energy, resting energy was higher while sleeping than in daytime. I have tried all suggestions and recommendations mentioned here.

Since ios14 my resting energy has tanked. From the forums this is obviously an issue with ios14. When is Apple going to fix this?

In addition to the list of problems above, the watch is only syncing about half my workouts to the phone. They appear in the watch activity app, but not in the phone activity app.

Yes, I also have the same issue.

aman69,

It's understandable why these issues would be frustrating. Since you're having a couple of different issues, and your devices are updated, we recommend working with Apple Support directly. Reach out to them here: Contact Apple for support and service

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a great day!
