I have a vivoactive hr, and my calories burned is way wrong. In 5000 steps or 2.8 miles it says I burned 6400 calories..no way. I know the resting calories is part of it, but no way is it accurate. I'm 6'5" and 260 lbs but that leaves roughly 4000 calories that I some how burned walking a short distance..why is it so in accurate?

Just in a hour of sitting on the couch to write this, my active calories burned is 150...no way did I burn 150 calories sitting. My resting calories burned is 106. What is going on? Do I have a bad unit or something?
