MFP has your TDEE set based on your activity level, which includes some normal activity like walking around and doing chores. The active calories on your Apple Watch are purely active calories, added to your BMR for a total number of calories burned that day. It's not a bug, it's that MFP uses a different number than the Apple Watch. This won't help if you workout in the mornings, but you can always look at the step adjustment it's given you before you log your workout, and manually put THAT back in after it disappears, but it's not the total of your move cals, that's not what they are. I'm ok with letting that pad my deficit and not stressing about it too much. Related, I have been wearing my Fitbit as well as my AW lately to compare these activity/step discrepancies and it's between 1 and 200 a day cals getting dumped into the ether. If I'm doing something truly strenuous I'll just make it a workout. Like on a workout the difference between active and total? You'd have to math that out for the casual moving around you do. When you reach a move goal of like 350 or something that is not 350 cals to eat. I'd be wary however of adding all the active cals, as that number seems to be a combo of base and extra burn. If you don't log a workout for that day, you'll find that the step adjustment will still be there in MFP. ![]() I know exactly what you're talking about, it's a bug.
