I've noticed ever since I installed watchOS 7 on my AW Series 5, my Resting Energy is averaging 900 calories a day. Ever since I bought my AW5 in January, my Resting Energy has always been around 2400 calories a day.
For reference, Resting Energy is NOT Active Energy. Resting Energy is the number of calories your body burns just to keep your basic bodily functions going. Your Resting Energy would typically only fall by 70% if you, for example, lost 70% of your body weight.
The Active Energy burn still tracks right in watchOS 7 (about 1200 calories a day for me through exercise), but I'm baffled why my Resting Energy burn is now down to about 900 calories a day–which is less than a small child would burn through resting energy.
Anyone else seeing this?

My normal calorie count at the end of the day is between 1600 and 2100 depending on how far I run. Now it' like 800-1100. It's driving me nuts and I was really relieved to find the other post as well as this one. It's like the watch shuts down and stops counting calories for part of the day. My stand hours SAY 17 today (I get up really early) but there are only 3 blue stand bars and the rest is totally black. And my workouts are being recorded but it's like that is almost all that is being recorded. Anyway, I just updated my phone and will update my watch tonight in hopes there is a fix that isn't mentioned.
