Samsung Health: enter your weight
The Galaxy Watch takes weight and height from your Samsung Health profile. The calorie view distinguishes active from total calories – for the challenge the total counts.

Menus change with app versions – if an item is named differently for you, look for “profile” or “body data”.
Enter weight and height
Open your profile
Samsung Health → menu (≡ or profile picture at the top) → “Profile” or “Edit”.
Enter body data
Enter height, weight, date of birth and sex and save. The watch takes the values at the next sync.
Weight as a measurement
For a history: home → “Weight” card → “Record”. The newest entry is used for the profile.
Find the day's total calories
Open the calories card
Home → tap the “Activity” or “Calories burned” card.
Choose the day view
Switch to the challenge day. You see active calories burned and – below or in the details – total calories burned including resting metabolism.
Take the total
For the challenge “Total” counts. If only an active value is shown, tap the number to open the breakdown.
Screenshot for the proof
- Screenshot of the day view with date and total.
- If the card only shows active calories, open the detail view before taking the screenshot.
What counts as proof
The screenshot must show the total energy of the challenge day – resting plus active – with the date visible. The value is read once by an AI model and never stored; the certificate follows.
Common questions
- Active or total calories?
- Total. The challenge counts the day's energy including resting metabolism, the way watches report it.
- The watch shows different values than the app?
- After a sync they match. The app is the reference for the proof.
