Charge 2 Calorie Calculations Wrong

[Firozia]

I’ve always had troubles with my calorie counter burner, it’s way too high. Ive has my watch off for over a week and my calories burned hasn’t been consistently 1764.

How do I fix this so I don’t have to -1764 everyday to get an accurate reading?

thanks.

I think it may already be accurate.

As well as tracking calories burned through activity your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings for age, height, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories burned in the 24 hour period

Mine is giving me 1099 calories a day while I am not wearing it. With a foot broken I am only walking 300-500 steps a day in the house and have gained a lot of weight so my metabolism is very slow. Nothing works right since Apple took over so I rarely use it or the message boards. Miss the old fitbit community setup.

That sounds about right for your BMR calories
