Too many exercise calories?

I got my Fitbit two days ago. Yesterday I reached a little over 10,000 steps. I moved so I’m running up/down 3 floors putting stuff away for hours. My exercise states 939 Fitbit calories. That seems way too high. I read the beginner post and it’s a lot to take in so hopefully I’m doing this right. Any insight?

    If you had MFP set to Sedentary - and you most obviously were not with that much activity and that many steps - sounds like a low adjustment actually.

    What experience do you have with calorie burns for daily life and exercise?

    Or do you only have experience with seeing diets start at 1200 calories for women (that would be avg sedentary woman BTW and still not correct).
