7am - 12pm, there has been 3hours of fat burn. I am just sitting and typing on my compute for work. Does anyone know what is going on?

This used to happen to me sometimes. Fat burn is when your current heart rate is higher compared to your resting heart rate, so when your app says this, it just means your heart rate is high like if you were exercising. Maybe you are fidgeting or typing quickly?

Hello @Tron2020 Welcome to the Community Forums!. Thank you for the input @Hattie321. 

 

Can you please let me know when did you start noticing the discrepancy? Has this happened with any other activity, like cooking or when your wrist are moving?. For more information about Hear Rate and which factors can affect the accuracy, please check: How do I track heart rate with my Fitbit device?

 

On a side note, have you tried to restart your device by doing the steps in the following link?.

I look forward to your response.
