How do you account for fitness activity into your tracking app? Aka, is my Apple Watch activity accurate?

Hi everyone!

TLDR - played some basketball, saw that my Apple Watch recorded it as over 1000 active calories burned and am wondering if this is accurate. MyFitnessPal also estimated the time I played as 1000 calories.

I began caring for my weight 2021.

M28, 6’2, 280 pounds.

My weight loss plan is a combination of all the current buzzwords in fitness. Calorie Counting (1700) around 16:8 fasting schedule and trying to stick to a mostly keto diet.

So far the biggest surprises have been how filling 1700 calories can be and looking back at how much unnecessary consumption I was taking in.

The next big shocker is how much increasing activity levels can help achieve your goals. This morning I played a little basketball with my family for a couple hours and my Apple Watch counted 1000 active calories burned.

Thats 15 Buffalo wings!!! (I’ve been known to tackle 30 over an hour and some beers at Buffalo Wild Wings on a Sunday)

I added into MyFitnessPal and am just stunned that after a couple hours of fun I now have “banked” a full meals worth of gains. I washed down a protein drink and had steak, eggs and an avocado and still have a ton of wiggle room for the day.

Feels like a huge win and I might go play again tomorrow to chase this feeling.
