Hey guys! I’m new to the Apple Watch gang and I currently have the SE. I’m 5’9 and weigh 165 lbs and it says I burn roughly 1900-2000 resting calories a day. I know resting isn’t the same as BMR as BMR is without the digestive tract and other factors. Does this seem accurate? I stand all day for my job which I know might effect it. Thank you guys for your help I’m just trying to track a calorie deficit!

Well then I guess I have a new question. My resting calories are not the same everyday. They seem to go up when I workout more. Maybe it’s trying to figure out the extra calories I burn with muscle? Some days I burn 1900 other days it’s closer to 2000. My maintenance calories are 1918 do you think it maybe has something to do with that? Thank you!
Ok thank you. I just want to make sure it’s accurate. I don’t want to be severely over or under eating.
The Apple Watch likely uses the Harris-Benedict Equation which uses your age, height, weight and gender to calculate your Basal Metabolic Rate. The caloric figure from this equation is then added to your Active calories to get your Total Calories.
The Harris–Benedict equations
Men BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) + 5
Women BMR = (10 × weight in kg) + (6.25 × height in cm) - (5 × age in years) - 161
Possibly,I don't think that any 2 days are the same,I've never had 2 days the same in 5 years of apple watches.
