Best option for tracking calories

Ah, I think you are referring to starting a workout on your Apple Watch independently. This is possible :+1:t2:

I don’t honestly know which the best option is, but essentially you can:

  1. Record the workout independently of the Freeletics App on your Apple Watch. Essentially you can start to record data like this on your Watch by starting a workout ( I would suggest HIT but it’s not always the case) in the Workout app-this way all your HR, estimated calorie expenditure etc is sent to Activity and the Health app. I would make sure you disconnect any connection between Apple Health and the Freeletics app in your app settings-otherwise you will get data from both the workout recorded on your Watch, and the data synced to Health from the Freeletics app.

  2. Just allow the connection between the Freeletics app to Apple Health, and Apple will estimate calorie data based on the workout in your Health app.

The below response provides maybe a bit more data :point_down:t2:

And, as pointed out by @Sushant in the same conversation, wearables are notoriously bad at estimating calorie expenditure :point_down:t2:
