Calories burned way too high.

[MintyFox]

Yesterday I went to sleep having burned about 2,200, when I woke up and checked the chart, it said I burned 7,900 calories. What the heck happened?

Which Fitbit do you have? If it’s a tracker that can display calories, is this the amount of calories displayed on the tracker? Have you tried restarting your tracker?

[MintyFox]

I have a Fitbit surge. I can't tell what it says on the tracker because it switched over to the next day. I checked on the app and the dashboard and it shows a normal caloric burn for every day of the week except yesterday which is nearly 8,000.

Heres a screen cap of it.

Restarting your Surge while the day was still going on could have helped, but for Fitbit, tomorrow is always another day (all daily values are set to zero at Midnight). I’m afraid you’ll have to live with this anomaly. At least, I don’t know how to manually fix an entry that is clearly wrong. Maybe Fitbit support can do it for you?

Use this calculator to determine your BMR. Divide your BMR by 24 and multiply by the number of hours in your night. Yes, everything is reset at Midnight, so calories burned reported at 6am are for the period from Midnight to 6am (6 hours).
