My Fitbit Charge 2 claims I’ve burned 2300 calories a day for several previous weeks even though I haven’t used it in a while. How do I fix this problem. It’s very misleading.

It might be correct.

 

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 is the total BMR calories burned for each day. There's more information on this here:
