calorie counter on the Apple Watch

Is it possible to turn off calorie counting on the Apple Watch? I want to use Apple fitness and apparently need a watch but anyone in the eating disorder community will tell you having calorie counting is a bit of a trigger. It would be great to switch it off. I want to track my strength not an inaccurate measurement of energy burned! Haha.

Try turning the metrics to Kilojoules - it may disassociate it in your mind knowing that you are measuring newtonian energy and not food calories which is a lazy association by food scientists.


iPhone, Watch app, My Watch tab, Workout, Units of measure, Kilojoules


It is not possible on Apple Watch Workout or Strava or any other app that I know of to disassociate energy burned with activity.
