I am pretty new here as well so hopefully others will chime in.
Which fitbit do you have? Did you check here:

Some people have similar posts and you may find something that helps you.
Are you a male or female wanting to lose 2 pounds? For an active male with only 2 pounds to lose
I would think your calorie count could possibly be 3500. Especially as you said you haven't set an intensity level with the calorie counter.
But as far as the 7000 calories it said you could have, agree that is alot of eating. (or did you run a marathon 
) What was your Fitbit step count yesterday? Did you enter any other activity? That would determine your calories allowed plus all the calories you get just sitting around, being alive and breathing.
Calorie-wise I think I would set it up the way you want it. Also in other threads they mention stride length--you can figure this out and put it in manually for more accuracy. But for most I think the default seems OK.
You have the option of choosing the aggressiveness of your weight loss. Easy to Hard Intensity. You can also set the Daily Calorie Estimate Setting to PERSONALIZED or SEDENTARY. I put it back and forth until I figure out which one I prefer. Sedentary shows a very low calorie count but as you move you get more calories. Takes some getting used to but I will adjust. Eventually later in the day they will both be the same.
Takes some playing around with the site if your problem is just settings. Good luck. Hope you get everything squared away.
