I worked out for 40 minutes and it said I earned 55 zone minutes but only burned 30 calories, which obviously isn’t right. This is the second day in a row this has happened and I’ve already restarted my device. Any idea what the issue is?

Hi there, @Carlenemarie. Welcome to the Fitbit Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your calories burned. 

As @JohnnyRow mentioned, have you check your settings to see if anything was changed accidental? I'd check your personal information to see if your weight and height are properly set, it may worth the try. To update your profile, see How do I change the units of measurement in my Fitbit account?

Fitbit devices combine your basal metabolic rate (BMR)—the rate at which you burn calories at rest to maintain vital body functions (including breathing, blood circulation, and heartbeat)—and your activity data to estimate your calories burned. 

Your BMR is based on the physical data you entered in to your Fitbit account (height, weight, sex, and age) and accounts for at least half the calories you burn in a day.

Is total daily calorie burn sensible?

Check your weight.

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