overestimating calories burned from walking in MFP - Calorie Adjustment

I'm just getting back into weight loss and whatnot and have started using my fitbit again. However, I had some syncing issued with MFP (which I fixed by going to their website and disconnecting/reconnecting fitbit), but now it's showing that I burned 10,000 calories just by walking:

This is obviously is not correct.

For reference, this is what the fitbit app shows:

What's going on? How is it showing that many calories from just walking? I checked all my info (height, weight, etc) on both and it's accurate. I have the Charge 2, if it matters, and I haven't entered in any activity from today on either app.

Hello there @LavastormSW and @Baltoscott thank you for keep me posted.

 

I was looking that you were able to resolved this issue. I understand this was a frustrating to resolve @LavastormSW but I'm understand also like @Baltoscott mentioned that a minimum change in your profile may caused a huge difference in numbers, I never though that this could be the caused to be honest with you. Good to know and my apologies for not being able to help you to find the solution before.

 

Stay awesome everyone and keep participating in the Fitbit Community.
