Burned 5000 calories

[globala]

I've had the Versa 2 for a week now and it's really cool.

However, I have some questions about the accuracy. (I am a 18 year old male, 77 kg, 182 cm, in average condition).

One day I burned 5100 calories. Which sounds way too much to be accurate, considering that normal around ~3000 kcal/day. However, I also had nearly 19000 steps for the day plus a 2-hour gym session.

The day after I burnt 4500 calories. However this day I walked 23200 steps. I spent half an hour at the gym aswell as playing some basketball. Also, I spent a few hours outdoors doing some heavy work.

Could this be accurate?

I am very new to this so I am wondering if anyone more experienced could say if this sounds accurate!

Thank you!

Hi @globala, it's nice to see you again in our Community Forums. 

I am glad to assist you with your concern regarding your Fitbit Versa 2 tracking your calories accurately. Thank you for providing the additional details. Calorie burn is based on two factors: your basal metabolic rate (or BMR) and activity tracked by your device. If your device tracks heart rate, your heart-rate data is also included, especially to estimate calories burned during exercise. For more information about calorie calculation and tips to make sure your activity is being tracked accurately, please see here: How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned? and What are some tips to make sure my Fitbit daily activity is accurate?

Let me know how it goes, I'll be around.
