Apple Health App Calories. So I'm new to the Apple Watch (just bought the Watch 2, 42mm) and I got it mostly as a feature rich activity tracker (my Polar Loop finally hit the bed). I'm used to being able to view total calories burned throughout the day but the Activity app just shows Move calories (which happens to coincide with Active Energy on the Health app on my iPhone). A more personal Health app. For a more informed you. Now it’s easier than ever to organize and access your important health information. The new Health app consolidates data from your iPhone, Apple Watch, and third-party apps you already use, so you can view all your progress in one convenient place. Apple’s Health app is designed to provide a central hub for all your fitness apps to save and share their data. You might assume this means all your Active Calories are added together.
Note: HealthKit (Apple Health) integration support is for read/write dietary calories and weight. No data is being sent outside of your device. Health app access required. NOTE: Calory is not a medical app. Suggested calorie intake goal is just an estimate based on your profile. Health Apps — When monitoring your health and fitness, the Apple Watch and iPhone both have ways of setting your preference for either Calories or kilojoules (kJ) […] 0 Support TMO
MFP is the only app that I have found to have this issue. I am currently using another logging app for this reason. The one I am using sees both my resting and active calories from Apple Watch and only gives me bonus calories when the combined total exceeds 1918. Basically it’s doing what MFP should be doing. Edit:
The complete guide to Apple's Health app.. ($330 at Amazon), you'll see more detailed metrics here too, including how often you stand, calories burned, exercise and more.

If your workout Calories are being counted in your ‘Active Energy’ total in addition to being logged as an exercise, try turning off the Apple Health sharing permissions for ‘Active Energy’ with your third party app but keeping ‘Workout’ permissions turned on.
