My Fitbit calories is showing way higher than I believe it really is. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Hi there, @_maggie. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for sharing the details about the issue with your Luxe.
I was wondering the same as @Odyssey13. 🤔 I'd also like to ask if you you recently updated your weight (or other profile settings such as height, age etc)? If you did, I'd double check your personal information to see if your weight and height were 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.
Hope that helps.
