Active Energy Calculation with Apple Watch and Other Data Sources

When calculating the active energy, there are currently 2 data sources - a pedometer app on my iPhone and my Apple watch. Would that mean that the active energy calories are doubling up, considering I have been wearing my watch the whole day?

Apple Watch - Active VS Total specifically for workout. Hi, I have googled and been unable to find a clear answer for this. What is the accurate count of what I burned during a workout— the active or total calories? I have seen other threads say total accounts for your calories while at rest during the day... BUT... I only wear my Apple Watch during my workout - for one hour a day. And I end up with sometimes a 50-60 calorie difference between total and active. So the answer of “it counts while you’re sitting on the couch for the total” doesn’t make sense. I know I’m not burning 50 calories driving 4 minutes to my gym. any ideas?

Apple Watch activity rings In the newest apple update (16.4) how do I tell how many calories are burned for the day? I’ve just gone back to wearing my watch and trying to monitor this closely but the activity app and the health app seem to be different and I’m having trouble locating this information.
