Please can someone help as I’m slightly at my wits end.

My BMR is calculated at 1550 on my Fitbit, this is correct for my height, weight etc. I consume 1500 calories a day and I want to track my total calories burned to make sure I’m in some sort of deficit .

Yesterday, my Fitbit calculated that I’d burned 2417 calories in total, which puts me in a deficit of 867 calories. I did not work out. I was relatively active gardening and cooking etc but there is just no way I burned 867 calories outside of my BMR. I full understand what a BMR is which is why I know mine is correct, I’ve checked it using other websites.

Am I being really dim? I’ve contacted customer support but they’re just hopeless. Has anyone else had the same issue? I just want to be able to track the calories, simply!

Yesterday, my Fitbit calculated that I’d burned 2417 calories in total, which puts me in a deficit of 867 calories. I did not work out. I was relatively active gardening and cooking etc and do between 8-10k steps a day but there is just no way I burned 867 calories outside of my BMR.
