Fitbit calorie adjustment - my fitness pal

[Lauracgrg]

Hi!

Hoping someone can shed some light. I've had my flex for a week now and I seem to be earning far too many calories for the steps I've walked. I've read many feeds and done all the obvious things. Ie: time zone, weight, height etc.
The problem is all of my friends and family that have fitbits do not earn the kind of calories I am earning. For example, I did 10000 steps and earned over 400 calories when everyone else (5 people) earned roughly 100 calories, give or take for the same amount of steps.

Any suggestions would be great as it's making me not want to use it as I could potentially be eating too many calories.

Thanks in advance!
