Would need more info, numbers, to respond.  Too high?  Too low?  How much?  Did it change or has it always been this way?

What is your standard for saying fitbit is wrong?

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @MCURRY5001 ! It's nice to see you around @JohnnyRow ! 

 

@MCURRY5001 I understand your concern about the calorie count and will be glad to assist you if you could provide the additional details, as @JohnnyRow mentioned. The calorie burn that Fitbit provides takes into account your BMR, the activity recorded by your tracker, and any activities you log manually. 

 

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the rate at which you burn calories at rest just to maintain vital body functions like breathing, heartbeat, and brain activity. Your BMR usually accounts for at least half of the calories you burn in a day and is estimated based on the physical data you entered when you set up your account: sex, age, height, and weight. Your tracker's calorie count will reset each night at midnight and begin counting immediately thereafter. 

 

@JohnnyRow thank you for your support!

 

Looking forward to your response.
