Hey everyone , I was just wondering is that possible I burned 3400 calories a day ( spend around 1h at gym and I also have active work)? I think it's a bit too much for a day, so I was wondering if it's correct or nope.

The calories burned are BMR calories. Your fitbit also calculates calories burned for your BMR. You burn calories just by being alive! Even Sleeping. Fitbit includes these burned calories in it's calorie calculations, so even if you did not wear the fitbit, you'll still burn these calories.

@Jukexoxo Welcome on board! @WendyB is right we burn calories just being alive. If you feel that your calories burn count is not the correct, I'd recommend making sure, your data is correct on your Account Settings. 

 

Hope this helps.
