How does my automatic calorie goal work?
If you're using an automatic calorie goal, your daily budget is calculated from your resting energy, active energy, and any deficit or surplus you've set.
Dynamic Updates
If you chose to have resting and/or active energy computed from Apple Health, your budget will update throughout the day as new activity data comes in. This means your budget may go up or down during the day—this is normal.
