Apple Watch Ultra 4 Readiness score requires Move ring to be Active Calories

I have an Ultra 4 and tried to click to get my Readiness score and I get this message: Your move ring needs to be set to Active Calories to calculate your readiness.


I am an adult and have my birthday saved in the health app. What can I do to change from a move goal that displays move minutes to calories?
