Purely out of interest!
I’ve recently bought a garmin vivoactive 3 watch and I’m pleasantly surprised at the calories I burn on average!

If I get my 10k steps then over 2000.

I am mid 40s, short and overweight. I think this is a massive over estimate. TDEE calculators put me on about 1750 at lightly active, 1550 at sedentary.

I've had a lazy day and walked 3244 and it says I've burnt 69.

It totally depends on your height / weight / activity level. My vivoactive 3 tells me anything from 1900 - 2800 depending on what I've been doing that day. Yes I exercise a lot and burn a lot of calories! However, I always take it with a pinch of salt, nothing is 100% accurate.

Not many! 30s, 5'2" and I tend to average around 1800. Today I might hit 2000 but I ran 10k this morning and will go for a walk with DS later. Apart from that I have a job sitting at a desk so don't get many steps that way.

I am 15 stone 6 and on an inactive day approx 2400, on an active day 3000-3200. The active days involve a run and an hour to 1.5hour walk. I have previously based my eating on the calories it says I burn minus 1000 and lost a few pounds a week so would say it must have some degree of accuracy although I do take it with a pinch of salt.

A sit on my bum day = 1300
Go for a run and steps around 8000 = 1600

I'm short, average weight for my height and mid 40s. My TDEE is low so this seems about right.

I've done 60 minutes exercise today and mine says 604 which is about right. It was a 30 minute run and 30 minute circuit training.

5ft 5, 9st 10, age 43. My do-nothing-but-exist calorie burn is 1540, I usually add a 500-600 calorie burn through activity to that, everyday. I have a Garmin 645.

Normally around 2500 but 1967 today. Haven't done a lot today apart from a half hour walk.
