FitBit Blaze Calorie Over-Estimation

[Probers]

My Fitbit, with approximately 10 hours of time worn estimates my calories burned at 2083. I know they aren’t 100% accurate, but doesn’t this seem like a far stretch? Do I have something set up wrong? Any ideas?

It's hard to know whether the stats are wrong as they largely depend on your age, weight etc

I do wonder if you are taking into account your BMR calories though.

As well as tracking calories burned through activity your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings for age, height, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing includes the total BMR calories burned since midnight.

I don't know your bmi stats your weight, body fat, and so on but it's most likely your BMR basil metabolic rate, it's how many calories your body burns if your were for example in a coma so doing nothing laying in bed that's how many calories you burn roughly around 2,000 for most people and then it's your tdee (total daily energy expenditure) is when you walk around go gym and so fourth go about your day that's your calories added onto your BMR
