It does show an indication of my steps, but I’m not being allocated any calories for this or other exercise. The problem is, whenever I look at my Diary in MyFitnessPal it never seems to capture the exercise I’m doing, and this is throwing out all my Calories remaining for the day. And, in the Health app I’ve given permission for MyFitnessPal to read Apple Watch data for Steps, Walking + Running Distance, and Workouts. In MyFitnessPal I’ve chosen my Apple Watch as the device to track steps. I recently bought an Apple Watch Series 3 to track my exercise, steps and so on, and I’m trying to get it to work properly with MyFitnessPal, but something has gone astray. Total eating less than total burn = weight loss.For a long time I’ve been using MyFitnessPal on my iPhone as a diet/calorie tracker. Weight loss is the result of getting the total calories we eat a reasonable amount below the total number of calories we burn, whether we burn them through metabolic stuff like heartbeat and breathing, daily life activities like job or home chores, or intentional exercise.
In one sense, exercise calories aren't special, we just sometimes feel like they are because MFP has us add them on as a separate thing. %00 calories of exercise every day, accurately estimated, would be expected to amount to roughly one pound weekly of weight change, on average over a few weeks. If you're set up for a very slow loss rate, it may be fine to let exercise calories make your weight loss go a bit faster. Losing fast can make it hard to stick with calorie goal long enough to lose a meaningful total amount of weight, can trigger deprivation-related overeating bouts (or giving up!), can lead to fatigue/weakness over time, and at an extreme even increase the risk of health problems. If you're already set up to lose 0.5-1% of your current body weight per week, it's probably not a good idea to lose even faster.
