ionic calorie question

[robk1013]

why does my new ionic show 628 calories for 199 steps?

The calories burned figure on your fitbit will include your BMR calories that were burned since midnight. These are the calories that you burn just keeping your body alive.

makes no sense, way too high

It depends on what time you saw that. My BMR calories add up to around 1400 per day so by the time I get up in the morning I would have tracked four or five hundred.

It sounds like it could be ok to me. It's hard to say for sure as the rate of BMR calories varies depending on your age, weight etc. Here's what fitbit have to say:

There are BMR calculators on the web if you google. You could use one of those to check the fitbit calculations.
