Can we get Total Calories Burned as a read data type for Android Health Connect?

It's strange that health connect as a sync option is there, total calories burned is a category you can read (and do read on the oura integration, for example), but it's just ignored for health connect, especially when there's also a no activity energy expenditure option built in to take advantage of it! Seems like it could be a low hanging fruit since everything is already implemented.

  • Definitely needed. I use Garmin Connect as my master record for calories so pulling Total Calories Burned from Health Connect would be vastly better than syncing Garmin to Cronometer and only pulling activity calories.
