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.
