My Fitbit luxe is over recording calories burned

[KinzaH]

Even on days when I don’t use tum Fitbit  luxe, it record some 1200 calories. And generally I feel it over estimates the calories I’ve burned. What the way to fix this? Please share

I don't think you're taking into account your BMR

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.
