Q: Total calories burned per day?
Does (or can) the Apple Watch keep a record of total calories burned per day, including not only activity periods but estimated calories during resting periods? Or does it only count them during workouts? I'm currently using my Apple Watch with a Polar H7 Bluetooth heart rate sensor, and would like to get an estimated count of total calories burned each day to compare against my dietary intake. Is there another app I'd need? If so, what would be the simplest for this specific purpose?

Hi Frank
Yes, the Activity app keeps a record of total calories burned per day, including during activity and resting periods.
To see the total estimated overall calories for a day - including during active and resting periods:
- On your iPhone, in the Activity app (coloured rings icon), go to: History (tab) > tap on day > scroll down to the Move chart (which shows active calories) > swipe left on the chart to view the total calories for the day.
