Total and active calories

I just started using a Felix 3 HR and trying to get a grasp on the total calories and active calories. They seem like such high readings. I'm 6'2 245lb and set behind a desk all day. For example yesterday I burned 5599 total calories. I did 11,437 steps. Ran 3.2 miles in 46 min for a 765 calories. After work, I danced about 3 hours.

It is recording my BMR at 2488 almost every day. yesterday I had 3111 active calories.

5599 total calories just seems high. Most days I seem to be averaging about 3700-3800 calories with 45 min cardio and 40 min strength training.

Just wondering what thoughts are? My profile is set with correct weight and height. I use a HR chest strap during exercises and use wrist other times.

Thanks
