Hiya guys,

On my Blaze I cant help but think the calorie count is very high? How accurate is the count? I am a big lad weighing in at 122kg and 6ft but my calories burnt over the last week range from 2228 up to 3379 (I did do a 3 mile walk today).

Im wanting to lose a fair amount of weight to get down to 100kg but im still a bit confused about the amount of calories I should be consuming with the high amount I'm burning apparently.

Help appreciated as always 🙂

I wonder if you are taking into account your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). For a lot of people these can be more than the calories you burn from being active and might explain why your count appears high. There's some more detail in this article:

Your numbers don't seem to me to be unreasonable but it's worth checking your profile settings (height, weight etc) at https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/edit as these directly affect your calorie count.
