8000 calories burned in a day?

[Calorieburn]

Lately, I have been getting these huge calorie burns, like 3000 to 8000 calories, when I am used to getting 1500 to 1700 a day, depending on the exercise.  This has been going on for about a week.  Seems like there is something wrong with the way calories are calculated lately.  What can that be?

Try a restart. Do it at least 3 times.

Hi,

I tried restarting my fitbit 3 times, to no avail. I am still getting
enormous calories burned.

It's also worth checking your profile settings for age, height, weight etc as if one of these has accidentally changed it can have this sort of effect:
