Active Calories versus Total Calories while Exercising
Why aren't all calories considered active when walking, running or using an elliptical machine? The Apple Watch readings appear to be way off.
Today I did 30 minutes on my LifeFitness Elliptical Machine along with my Polar Chest Strap. The elliptical machine says my total calorie burn was 440. While my Apple Watch shows Active Calories = 263 and Total Calories = 321. This is a about 27% difference.
Rowing is even worse.
Very disappointed.
