Q: How does the workout app measure calories?
Purely by weight/activity time or is your heart rate a factor? I'm really hoping it's based off of your heart rate. Also, can your burned calories be transferred into myfitnesspal?

Hi
Along with other information, the Workout app does also use data from the heart rate sensor when estimating calories.
More information:
Use the Workout app on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
Your heart rate. What it means, and where on Apple Watch you’ll find it. - Apple Support
For the MyFitnessPal app, data sharing options can be checked:
- In the MyFitnessPal app via HealthKit Sharing;
- On your iPhone via Settings > Privacy > Health.
