I've read a number of posts that all suggest bmi is to blame for some calories burned during sleep. Up until last night mine has shown approx 400-500 through sleeping but last night, when the band was left on my cupboard, it clocked up 1550!
How do I remove calories?

Welcome to the forums @JonJames! In this case I recommend to setup a Food Plan on your account; since it will create a default setting which is 'Personalized'. What this does is use your past history to grant calories for the following day. It's best to leave your Calorie Estimation under "Sedentary" which starts low but grants calories throughout the day. Go to your Food Log page and click on the blue gear where the calories are granted, click on "Sedentary". 

 

Nevertheless, it's best to check your basic settings as well, for any weight, height and stride length information that we might have been missing and it's giving out default results. 

 

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions Cat Very Happy
