Here is the best answer I can give you concerning how calories are calculated:
To see the total calories burned for the day first, tap on the Activity app (and History at the bottom left corner if not already selected - then select a day). Then swipe left in the "Move" section to not show the graph and show the Active and Total calories. (Swipe right to return to the graph.)
According to What is the difference in "active cal… - Apple Community
Total calories include - basal calories + calories burned when doing a workout. Active calories are those that are burned during some activity like swimming running or anything else where your body is moving, Basal are those that your body burns during a day without any activity.

The American Heart Association HAS a recommended daily baseline. It’s 10,000 steps, which is easily measured AND understood!!
What I’m asking is what the reasoning behind having a move goal, since I can’t find a correlation on how it is measured.
Please help me understand by answering the following:
1.) What factors determine move calories?
2.) How are move calories calculated?
3.) What is the move goal equivalent of 10,000 steps?
I’m asking for a scientific reasoning, say from the American Heart Assoc, as to the recommended daily move goal.
Before responding, please thoroughly read the question.
Then you should ANSWER in a technical manner!
You obviously don’t have the technical knowledge!
This is not solved!
I just reported your incompetent and belligerent responses.
Thank you.

It's a personal choice,choose a goal that you won't reach too easily and have to put a bit of effort into acheiving it.
