Using your profile, BMR and the parameters of your workout. You are right in the fact that some workouts will churn out a figure from the information you have entered, as that is how it is designed to work. Not all workouts will use this method and will use the heart rate instead. So it is an estimation of how many calories you have burnt based on this, the type of workout, and your profile. It is true that is calculates your calories burned live, as the Basal Metabolic Rate fluctuates throughout the day. You can find more information on it here: ^SH
Calorie burn app update#
You can find this information on the following page our colleagues have put together: Īlso, the new ECG/BP update is not to be used during exercise. The calorie calculation may increase based on the basal metabolic rate (BMR), even without exercising. The calorie count displayed does not mean the exact burned calories during exercise, and is not the same as the true burned calorie data.

That way, this will be sent over to our Research and Development team for review. If there are certain workouts you feel could be improved, we suggest sending in your feedback through Error Reports on our Samsung Members app. So they are tailored to you, providing your profile is accurate, but you are right, some workouts don't use the Heart Rate Monitor. There are some workouts that will not utilise the heart rate, but will take in to account your Samsung Health Profile and Basal Metabolic Rate. Certain workouts, like walking and running for example, will take into account your heart rate, along with the stats given on your Samsung Health Profile. We just want to clear up that they aren't pre-programmed calories that are burnt. Good afternoon! Thanks for reaching out to us. I've DM'd Samsung health and I'd like everyone to see their responses: As I noticed there's many forums regarding the calories issue, I received my watch mid Feb and noticed the issue myself towards end of Feb regardless of what I did I'd burn the same amount of calories so I assumed it was preprogrammed.
