Hi I thunk the calories burned on my watch and phone are incorrect. It says I’ve burned about 1,029 calories but that can’t be right. Can this problem be solved?

It might be right!

 

As well as tracking calories burned through activity your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings for age, height, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing includes the total BMR calories burned since midnight

Hello @Versa03, I hope you're doing well, it's nice to see you around. It's nice to see you too @SteveH, thanks for all your help. Smiley Happy

 

@Versa03 I appreciate your participation in the Forums and for sharing your experience with us. As @SteveH mentioned, BMR calories take in consideration your profile settings and might total half of your daily calories burned, as you burn calories just by breathing and standing. 

 

If you've found the information provided by @SteveH useful, please mark his post as an accepted solution. This will help other members of the Community. 

 

In case you need further assistance, please feel free to reply, have a great day.
