Suggested calorie intake with Apple Watch tracking

I am trying to work out the best way to track what my calorie intake should be. I have a very physical job, window cleaning, which involves carrying ladders, climbing up and down ladders to clean windows. If I track this as “other” on Apple Watch, It averages about 2000 calorie burn per day. I also do cardio and strength training in addition which when tracked with Apple Watch averages about 700-1000 calorie burn. At the moment, I have my fitness pal set to not very active and it adds my Apple Watch exercises. So on a day when I work and do excercises it suggests around 5000 calories. Please can anyone suggest if this is correct or if there’s a better way, thank you.
