Your Apple Watch Is Wrong: Stop Tracking Calories Burned | Minisode #18

from The More Than Fitness Podcast With Matt McLeod · host Matt McLeod

Lily asks: "Should I trust how many calories my Fitbit tells me I burn daily? I’d like to be in a slight surplus to gain muscle but I walk super often so my calories burned for day can be high. Also, what about eating to hit my higher macros when my activity is lower?" People love sharing how many calories they burned after a hard workout. Taking pictures of their treadmill or Apple Watch or Fitbit — it's a badge of honor. But this Minisode is here to shit on that badge of honor, because it's probably inaccurate. This is a hard truth, but there's been some research done on these devices that measure calories burned and they're simply not reliable. If you've been using your calories burned to dictate how much you should or shouldn't eat each day, or if you've been "eating back" calories burned, and you can't seem to make any progress...this Minisode is for you.
