So my Fitbit has been on charge, come to put it back on my wrist and noticed that calories burnt was 1572 everything else was on 0. I have noticed that when wearing my watch my calories burnt is really high some days over 3000 (definitely not correct) does anybody know a fix for this?

Thanks

At least some of that is the BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  Fitbit credits those even when you are not wearing the tracker.

See How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned? 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Welcome to the Community, @Becky_88 and @JohnnyRow, thanks for the input.

 

I was able to see here that our friend @JohnnyRow provided information about how your Charge 3 registers your calories information. Was this the answer you were looking for? If it was, I recommend marking the answer given as the best answer. By doing this, other users with the same inquiry will be able to find a faster response.

 

Now, if your inquiry/issue wasn’t resolved, let me know and I will be glad to help you out. 🙂
