Is fitbit giving crazy amounts of exercise calories or what?

After the iOS 7 update, apparently my fitbit one thinks I'm a hard worker! Cause on days I work where I normally get 8,000 or so steps, it thinks I deserve about 650 exercise calories added on top of my regular calories. Whereas before it would only give me like 300. Wow? I know how tricky calorie estimates are and that even being a couple hundred calories off can throw off your progress a bit so I'm trying to be careful here.
Anybody else notice this?

Seems like iOS maybe the problem then, not your FitBit.
Do you synch it with your computer aswell?0 -
I would agree that it may be the update, my fitbit one is not doing that and it only syncs with my computer, maybe you should use just the computer for a while0

Is there anyway your setting could have changed? From lightly active to sedentary or something along those lines?0

Yes, fitbit gives me too many calories for just slow walking. Anyone know how to stop that?0

Have you set your stride length? Mine was drastically under estimating my distance when I run and I found out it was because my stride length was set to something like baby steps. Not sure if that would make a calorie difference though.0
