Calories way way off

[tnhoneypot21]

I'm camping and have spotty signal so I don't have time to search threads tonight. Here's my problem. Got my fit2 a few days ago. The first one had calories way too high. Returned it to Best buy and got another. Turned it on and immediately it said I had burned 1000 calories. It is always like this. I woke up this morning and I had already burned 500 plus. So far today I have walked 14436 and it says I have burned 2093 calories. Why am I watching calories if I'm burning so many, lol. Is there a setting on my phone that I need to adjust. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. With 2 watches having the same problem I'm thinking it is something I have done or something needs tweaked.

The GF2 takes into account your basal metabolism rate. So these calories are reasonable as you burn them doing nothing just because you're alive

These type of devices will never be accurate calculating calories. Honestly, you might as well completely ignore it. Concentrate on steps and keep track of calories you eat by counting them yourself, or at least monitoring somewhat.
