Calories burned suddenly way too high. Re-boot hasn't solved.

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I've had my Charge HR since Christmas.  Normally, I burn somewhere between 2,600 and 3,000 calories/day.  The last two days, calories burned has shot up to North of 6,000 (with today's on the way to North of 7,000* and it's not yet 3:00 pm on the East Coast).  
The rest of my numbers are coming in normally and I've made no changes to anything (in regards to the HR).


EDIT:  I've re-booted the Charge HR and it hasn't slowed the calorie count.

EDIT 2:  Yep, checked my account settings last night and there was the glitch. My weight had ballooned to over 1000 pounds. Don't judge. I had a big Indian dinner.

It's worth checking that your profile settings haven't accidentally been changed (age, weight, height etc) as these directly affect the calorie burn calculations:

Thank you, Steve.  I eventually stumbled upon this myself last night, but if I hadn't, you would have saved the day.

Thank you!!! my fitbit was saying I was burning almost 3,000 calories and the day wasn't even over yet. lol. as a 5'4 135 lb woman, this seemed very odd. Somehow my settings got changed to say Iwas 230 lbs.
