Inspire 2 is tracking my calories too high

[Coaltrain]

7000 calories a day? I understand I might be overweight and have a lot to burn but from just two and a half hours of exercise? Is there something I’m missing or what, i believe I set my height and weight in the app but is there something else I need to do? Any help is much appreciated.

Hi there, @Coaltrain. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the inconvenience with your calories burned. I understand where your concern is coming from. 

Have you checked your settings to see if something was changed/edited accidentally? I'd check your personal information to see if your weight and height are properly set, it may worth the try. To update your profile, see How do I change the units of measurement in my Fitbit account?

Fitbit devices combine your basal metabolic rate (BMR)—the rate at which you burn calories at rest to maintain vital body functions (including breathing, blood circulation, and heartbeat)—and your activity data to estimate your calories burned. 

Your BMR is based on the physical data you entered in to your Fitbit account (height, weight, sex, and age) and accounts for at least half the calories you burn in a day.
