Why Google Health exercise calories differ from your tracker
When MyNetDiary downloads your data from Google Health, it adds a "Google Health exercise" entry to your MyNetDiary Exercise page. This number is usually lower than the total calories you see in the Google Health app, and that's expected.
Why the numbers are different
Your tracker counts all the calories you burn during the day, including the calories your body uses for normal daily life.
MyNetDiary already includes those everyday calories in your Weight Maintenance Calories, which are based on your activity level. To avoid counting them twice, MyNetDiary adds only the extra calories you burn above that level.
How it's calculated
Google Health exercise = Total calories burned − Weight Maintenance Calories
Example: Your tracker shows 2,600 calories burned today, and your Weight Maintenance Calories are 2,200. MyNetDiary adds 400 calories as Google Health exercise.
Tip: set your activity level to Sedentary
Because Google Health exercise counts only calories above your activity level, we recommend setting your activity level in MyNetDiary to Sedentary. This gives you the most exercise calories, because your tracker gets credit for all of your activity.
