I wouldn’t trust anything to give me accurate calorie counts, it is just way to subjective. Unless it’s medical grade equipment it’s just not giving you anything but a educated guess

Yeah, if you’ve ever seen the setup they use to actually measure your energy consumption you know some gadget on your wrist can not be accurate.
