Luxe is tracking my calories too high

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I'm wondering how much I can trust my calories burned. Here's the info:

 

I walk an average of 12,000 steps a day. I don't exercise, but I move almost constantly throughout my day, so I know my NEAT is fairly high.

I'm 5'2" female, 35, 125lbs, body fat 21%.

My bmr is 1238.

My location is turned on, perfectly synced.

It's saying I'm burning over 2100 calories per day/night. Seems awfully high. 

 

Any insight?

Hi, @JordanHart welcome to the community, your calorie budget consists of your BMR + calories burned in detected exercise. How accurate are Fitbit devices? comments on general accuracy, How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? has a section on calorie burn.

I've used "MyFitnesPall" in parallel with the Fitbit app and find they are pretty close. In the final analysis, are you losing & gaining weight as you expect to? I do, so I'm content with the data.

Cheers
