What is the procedure to change calorie goals on iOS?
iPhone goals can be changed depending on the goals you want to achieve and your activity levels, this can be done in two fairly easy ways. One of them is through Apple Watch and the other is from the settings of your mobile device.
Remember that setting up your Medical ID will help you have better control of all your activities. With that being said, we will show you the procedure to change calorie goals on iOS , follow the steps below.
Con Apple Watch
- The first thing you have to do is open the app on your Apple Watch and go to the ‘ Activity on Apple Watch’ option.
- Then swipe up until you reach the option that says ‘Change Target’.
- What you need to do now is touch the screen to increase or decrease the amount of active calories according to your daily goal and activity levels.
- Press ‘Next’. The new option that will appear will be to change the time of your activity.
- You must repeat the same action, touch the screen to increase or decrease the number of hours according to your goal and daily activity. Then you must press the option that says ‘OK’ or ‘Accept’
This way you can change your activity goals from your Apple Watch . An important fact that you should know is that if you cannot get the option to change these objectives, it is because your device may need to update to the latest version of WatchOS. After doing so, you can calmly monitor calories from your Apple Watch.
Normally this calorie monitoring option is changed because the Apple Whatch comes set with the target of 360 calories. For people who need to lose weight, this target is too low, and for those who want to have calorie intake instead, the target is too high.
From iPhone Settings
At this point there is a problem and it is that the activity goals cannot be changed from your iPhone device , but what you can do is create a type of reminder that helps you start your hour of activity. When your iPhone and Apple Watch are configured via bluetooth then you will have the perfect team.
- Open the Apple Whatch app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down until you reach ‘My Watch’
- Swipe down again until you reach the ‘Activity’ option
- After reviewing the list that appears, you just have to toggle the reminders and that’s it. You can count on the alarm on your iPhone and the calorie count on your Apple Watch.
How to know what are active calories and total calories on iPhone?
This is important to know as the calorie ring is not always easy to understand. When active calories are mentioned on Apple Watch, it refers to those that are burned by doing some physical activity and is the one that the movement ring refers to. Apart from these active calories are the ‘Basal Calories’ which are those that are burned when the body is in a state of rest, awake.
The sum of these two types of calories is what Apple considers as ‘Total Calories’, normally this account is taken at the end of the day because otherwise your Apple Watch only reflects the active calories.
What to do if the iPhone Activity app is not working?
Faced with this inconvenience, there are two solutions that you can carry out before making the decision to contact Apple advisors.
The first option is to restart both Apple computers, both your iPhone and the Apple Whatch . If after doing so, the problem continues, then you have to check if both computers have the most recent version of their updates installed. If you don’t have them, the solution will be to update them.
