Is there anyway to get your daily calorie output, what is recording on my Versa Lite is far to high to be true. For eg I've done 12,754 steps today with a calorie burn of 2016, that is just not correct 

Thank you

Are you taking into account your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  These are usually at least half of a day's calorie burn.

See How does Fitbit estimate how many calories I've burned? for more on this.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
