Hi,
I am wondering if the calorie counting for my Versa 2 is correct.
Today my step counting was 13918. I had a recorded 16 min walk (70 cal).
I had a 30 mins cycling (103 cal) and a 45 min swimming (204 cal).
Altogether the Fitbit app shows 2147 calories burnt for today. I am not wearing Fitbit during sleeping.
When I wake up, Fitbit already shows around 500 calories burnt before I even put it on my wrist.
I have already set up my age weight, height, etc.
Can you please also let me know what are the zone mins?
Do these calorie numbers look realistic? For me burning 2147 calories a day sound too high. I understand Fitbit includes the calories burnt by our bodies with metabolism and the normal vitals too.
Please let me know if these numbers are normal, or too high.
Thank you.

A warm welcome to the community @DoraVersa2.
Thank you for sharing the inquiry regarding calories and active zone minutes.
As you mentioned earlier, the calories burned while you're not wearing the device will correspond to the basal metabolic rate (BMR), which is the rate at which you burn calories at rest just to maintain vital body functions like breathing, heartbeat, and brain activity. This is estimated based on the physical data you entered when you set up your account: sex, age, height, and weight. Make sure that all the information in your account settings is correct.
If you do feel that the amount of calories burned is too high based on your personal setting, please try to restart your watch following these steps, and check if you continue to experience any difficulty.
Regarding active zone minutes, I'd suggest you please, visit this article.
