Calorie count - watch

I get very different calorie counts from the fitness app vs Map My Ride, even when the fitness app is synced to the MapMy results.

This morning, I went for a bike ride that MapMy shows as being >1000 calories. I see the same results when I click on that ride in the fitness app. But my overall calorie could for the day is <800.

thoughts?

Outdoor cycling workout is inaccurate Why is the calorie count under outdoor cycling so much less than it would be for other categories? I did a half hour workout, and it only gave me about 120 active calories. I have an Apple Watch SE.

Apple watch calories calculation I have been cross country skiing and am wondering how the calories calculations work with the workout app. I first tried the cross country ski workout but it did not map my route (how to do that with the cross country skiing is also a question) so the second time I went out I tried the outdoor run workout. The calorie calculation doing the exact same thing is vastly different using the different workout apps. They are listed below: Cross country skiing while selecting the workout activity to track: Selecting the Cross Country Skiing workout - 698 active calories per hour Selecting the Outdoor run workout - 224 active calories per hour How can doing the same thing have such different calorie calculations depending on what activity I select to track it with?

Calories on the apple watch I have the series 6 Apple Watch and the calories on my watch show to be 884, however when I go on the fitness app my total calorie count is 3,311. Can anyone explain why there is this difference and how to fix it?

Hello RobMess,

While we can't verify the results of another app, you can try calibrating for the count in the Fitness app and Move ring and see if it helps: Get the most accurate measurements using your Apple Watch

Thanks and have a wonderful day.
