Pedometer calories accurate?

Ok, so I have a Fitbit Versa linked to MFP. I have my activity set to active, with a goal to lose 1 lb a week, which gives me 1750 net cals a day. I get anywhere from 13,000-17,000 steps a day and MFP is giving me back what seems like CRAZY calories for that. Today I earned 800 extra calories just on steps. I have not been adding any manual activity. Have other people found this as well? Do you eat those calories? Have you lost weight eating them?
