Hey all, I just started this today and in other activity it says I have burned over 2000 calories. Apparently in my sleep. Is this right? Thanks

The other activities are the estimated amount of calories that you will burn in a day based upon your stated activity level (Moderate, Sedentary, etc).  Any activities that you log will add to that.

I still don't get the other activity, it seems high for a sedentary lifestyle

My default for "other Activities" was 1800 calories burned a day, notwithstanding that my setting was a "Sedentary Lifestyle". I think it was too high was manually reduced it to 1600, though even that may be too high. 

I found that I was always using about 500 calories/day more than I consumed at such a high setting for "Other Activities", though this link suggests that calorie Count have it about right with their default settings:

Maybe I got something wrong with my metabolism, I'm logging everything I eat but still usually have a big deficit in calories/day, I should be losing weight every day but it's remaining constant.
