I'm using the Inspire2 and already today it says I've burned 1047 Calories. I've done very little to warrant this (660 steps)!  How can I make my Calorie count more accurate?

I can't tell if your calorie count is right, but keep in mind that Fitbit includes your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calorie burn, calories you are always burning just to stay alive.  And generally these are more than half of your daily calorie burn.

 

From How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned?

I’ve done 21,516 steps today and my calories burned are only 967. This must be incorrect and not calculating correctly. First time since I got my new inspire 2. Hope can I correct this?
