How inaccurate is the calories burnt tracker?

For some context, I'm a guy who's 5'2 and weighs around 113. I'm averaging 17,000 steps a day with around 2,700 calories burnt a day. The calories seem too high.

I think that you're forgetting that Fitbit uses a BMR tracker which tells you that you're burning calories doing ANYTHING, even sleeping.  Although this article isn't officially a Fitbit article, it gives a great overview of how BMR is calculated.
