Hi!

 

Is it possible that after walking 7,900 steps, I have burned 1,500+ calories?  That seems off.  Any thoughts/suggestions for why it might be wrong?

 

Thanks!

Are you sure that the 1500+ calories are just from the walk? The calories shown on your One show the calories from your walk plus your BMR calories burned since midnight (these are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive).
