Whoop 5.0 massively understates calorie burn. My exercise routine hasn’t changed and my calorie burn is down 25-30%. Given my diet, I know how many calories I burn and Whoop is understating meaningfully ever since the transition from 4.0. All I see on these forums is people with the same issue, and the only responses are that “we haven’t seen others complain about this but we’ll look into it”. Please patch this or release an update.
Mine is ridiculously down as well. As near as I can tell, it is undercounting steps, which burn calories. It also seems to have gone to way overvaluing HR when it comes to strain and calorie burn. It is possible to have a high strain level and burn a heck of a lot of calories without large increases in HR. Those who spend a lot of time walking or engaged in physical work know this. But with 5.0 algorithms these sources of strain and calorie burn are negligible.
