How to Change Calories on Apple Watch
If you’re an Apple Watch user who has set up your device to track your daily calorie intake, you might find yourself needing to adjust the calorie count from time to time. Whether you’ve changed your diet, started a new exercise routine, or simply want to ensure that your calorie tracking is as accurate as possible, this guide will walk you through the steps on how to change calories on your Apple Watch.
Step 1: Open the Workout App
The first step in changing your calorie tracking settings on your Apple Watch is to open the Workout app. This app is where all of your fitness data is recorded, including calories burned during workouts.
Step 2: Select the Workout Type
Once you have the Workout app open, scroll through the list of available workout types and select the one that matches the activity you’re interested in changing the calorie count for. For example, if you want to adjust the calorie burn for running, you would select “Run.”
Step 3: Tap on the ‘Options’ Button
After selecting the workout type, you’ll see a series of options at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the ‘Options’ button to access additional settings for that particular workout.
Step 4: Adjust the Calorie Burn
Within the Options menu, you’ll find a setting for “Calories Burned.” Tap on this setting to adjust the calorie burn rate. You can increase or decrease the calorie count by using the slider or by entering a specific number of calories in the text field.
Step 5: Save Your Changes
After you’ve made the desired changes to the calorie burn setting, tap the “Save” button to confirm your adjustments. Your Apple Watch will now use the updated calorie burn rate for that particular workout type.
Step 6: Repeat for Other Workout Types
If you need to adjust the calorie burn for more than one workout type, repeat steps 2 through 5 for each type of activity you wish to modify.
Step 7: Verify the Changes
To ensure that your changes have been applied correctly, go back to the Workout app and review your recent workouts. You should see the updated calorie burn numbers reflected in your activity history.
By following these simple steps, you can easily change calories on your Apple Watch to better match your fitness goals and lifestyle. Remember that accurate calorie tracking is an important part of staying on top of your health and fitness journey, so take the time to adjust your settings as needed.
