Fitness app: activity of external app not counted i ride an electric bike, and recently it has an app which sends the KCal I really pushed on the pedals to the iOS Fitness app. It great compared to using the “bike ride” activity in the Fitness App because that overestimated energy consumption, while not triggering an activity underestimated energy consumption. For some reason though the KCal measured by the external app of the electric bike is not added to my daily activity… anyone knows why? Attached is an example where you see daily 513 KCal is much lower than the sum of the two activities (395+690KCal) that day Thanks!

Active calories not tracking on outdoor bike Went for a bike ride this evening for 45 mins over 5km. Says I only burned 45 calories, that’s one a minute! Also has not added those 45 mins to my daily exercise ring either Any ideas how to fix?

Outdoor cycling workout is inaccurate Why is the calorie count under outdoor cycling so much less than it would be for other categories? I did a half hour workout, and it only gave me about 120 active calories. I have an Apple Watch SE.

Same here. The fitness app gets the cycling workout from my Garmin watch but it does not update the calories burned on the fitness app but I go for a run or a walk. The app updates with the new calorie count, but not with cycling.

What watch model do you have? Have you paired the Apple Watch with the iPhone?

I don’t have an apple watch, shouldn’t the phone track it anyways?
