My Apple Watch Series 7 calorie count is inaccurate

My watch is inconsistent when it comes to total calorie burn for example yesterday my active calories were 754 and my total calories were 1600. Today my active calories are over 1000 and my total calorie burn is also 1600. Another day I had over 800 calories and total calories was over 2000. This makes no sense. This happens all the time! Anyone else have this issue?

Only the burnt active calories are counted for your Move Ring, the other number reflects the calories you have used without a workout during the day. This number is always higher.


At this moment my Fitness App shows 603 active calories and 1600 overall calories burnt, including those 603.


Yesterday the numbers were 1000/2770 calories, because I did an one hour workout, burning 600 active calories in the morning, and 30min in the afternoon cycling.
