Active calories

When I enter my ‘calories used’ into MyFitnessPal do I enter ‘active calories’ or ‘total calories’ please? Also is there anyway to do it automatically (to sync the two) so I don’t have to enter it manually. I’ve just moved from Fitbit to Apple Watch so it’s all quite different. Many thanks.

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 8

Please let us see Total Calories ON Apple Watch I have recently switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch and I sorely miss the Total Calories information. Active Calories don't mean anything for me, if you want to keep track of your overall calorie deficit. At least that is the case for my routine. So is there any valid reason, why for the love of god, Total Calories can't be added?? I also haven't come across any third party apps that let me see Total Calories ON the watch. I appreciate any help out :) Sketch

How do I access my total calories instead of only active calories? How do I access total calories instead of only active? Does Apple Watch 3 measure that?

Tracking calories in apple health Recently switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch, and while on the whole I am happy about the increased capabilities, I am a little disappointed by the calorie tracking. The Apple Watch tracks total calories burned, cool. But the app has no way to manually track calories consumed. I tried syncing my fitness pal, but it only syncs macronutrients, not total calories. This seems like an obvious oversight, like I have to be just looking in the wrong place, right?
