How do I turn off the calories estimation on the Fitbit app?

Does anyone know  how to disable the 'calories burned' estimator?

Don't think you can turn off calorie calculation, but, not quite the same thing, but did you look for a clock face that just doesn't show calorie burn?

I would like to know  how many calories are being burned, however, it is not accurate. . . it is too high. I read to go to settings/preferences/calorie estimation to disable. I guess then it would show a more accurate number? Maybe it can't be done.

Hi, @Lulu62, welcome, in my experience calorie counts are more or less in line with results on other devices. I wear PW2 - which uses the Fitbit app and many of the Fitbits. I swim daily with a second device by a well-known manufacturer and generally get a close match (+/- 20 calories in a 700-calorie swim) You tell us your results are not accurate, what kind of discrepancy are you seeing?

It shows ike 2000 calories burned when I walked 10,000 steps. Would be nice, but not accurate.

Hi, @Lulu62 Can you confirm where you are seeing this figure, note the comments about BMR in the link I posted earlier.
