Calories burned

[Dawnpo]

Lately my versa 2 is showing my calories burned very high. All of my information is correct in the settings. Today I did have a very busy day and I logged over 10,000 steps at work and shopping. However, it says I burned 3,000 calories give or take. This seems pretty high to me. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi, @Dawnpo I'm using a PW2 with my Fitbit app, logged in via my Google account and have not seen any changes in my calorie burn for the last few weeks. Having used an alternative app in the past I can say the results are very similar to the Fitbit app. You may find this article of interest How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? In particular the explanation of Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR). You might like to review the physical settings that you entered when originally setting up the Fitbit app. From the Today screen>you tab(bottom right)>Your tile (top) and review your gender, height & weight which are the basis of the BMR setting.

FYG I have a BMR of 2300 and customarily accumulate a further 700 calories by swimming 3000 metres in an hour and 20 minutes (HR about 120bpm) plus about 3,000 steps during the day. This gives me a daily budget of just under 3000 calories to maintain my current weight.

You do not mention if your unusual experience has repeated, I suggest you give it a couple of days & let us know how you are getting on.

Cheers

Thank you for the reply, My situation is a lot simpler and than yours I
think. Up till now I usually burned approximately 2,000 calories a day. I'm
71 years old but I'm very active. I noticed when I tightened my band one
notch is when I started seeming to burn more calories. But I know I never
went to 3,000 before. So I restarted my versa and put it on my non dominant
hand yesterday. And yesterday I burned 2100 calories which is more likely.
I guess sometimes you just have to fiddle with it. And all my information
is input correctly.
