This can be caused, as you suggest, by a change in your profile settings. In particular, your weight, age, and height has a direct affect on the calorie calculations. Have you checked yours at: https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/edit ?

 

If they look ok, do you have any links to external apps that may be causing a problem e.g. MyFitnessPal?
