[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can set your move goal to 500 but it’s not just dedicated logged exercise that contributes to the move goal. Regular moving around does too. Does that answer your question?[/quote]

Yes, thanks.

I’m trying to keep my daily intake under 1300 and burn 500 on my Apple Watch. [/quote]

Have you found out what your basal rate is?  
1300 is low calorie count.  1200 is like the very very low end for woman for healthy survival.  1300 is pretty dam close to that very low end and then burning 500 puts you at a daily net of 800.  That is risky.  Has your advised this?

Not trying to be a jerk, but please do more research and/or get professional guidance.[/quote]

You are not coming off as a jerk and I appreciate the advice.  I’m going by my LoseIt calorie goal. If I can eat more, I would be thrilled to eat more!

I’m trying to make sense of how my Apple Watch calorie move goal fits into my weight loss goal of 1 pound a week. My Lose It! calorie budget does adjust and credit back calories, if that makes sense.[/quote]

Unless you are doing a LOT of exercise like an pro-athlete, you should not be adding calories back in based on what your watch tell you you burned. Keep in mind that even if you sat on the couch for an hour you would still burn calories and calorie burn tracking is very inaccurate.

If your goal is to lose 1 lb a week then do this- track calories consumed and weigh yourself daily. At the end of the month see how much weight you lost. Keep in mind weight fluctuated daily so use averages and changes of time. If you lost more than 1 lbs a week then eat a little more to slow the rate down. If you lose less than 1 lb a week then slightly reduce calories. Re-evaluate again the next month. [/quote]
