When I go for a walk I may get 100 active calories burned but 150 total calories. From what I can tell, only the active calories show up on my activity ring. Where are the total calories calculated? Is that factored into the total calories under the Move menu on the Activity app?
Are the active calories included in the total calorie count on the Activity app or would one add the two together to get a real total burned for the day?
Hi
The daily Move ring tracks active calories.
Total calories are also estimated and can be viewed via the companion Activity app on your iPhone, by swiping left on the Move goal chart for any given day.

Yes - Active calories includes active calories credited during workouts (as tracked via the Workout app or a third-party app that shares data to the Health app) and also those credited during general daily wear.
Active calories are included within the total calories reported in the Activity app on your iPhone (active calories + resting calories = total calories).
And Active Calories = Activity calories + workout calories?
