Why is my daily resting energy in excess of 20,000 calories???

So, I thought I had resolved my issue as per my previous post: but now that I've eliminated all of the duplicate devices, I now find my daily resting energy is crazy high. I have unpaired my watch, erased/reset my watch and repaired. Still crazy high readings. what gives????

So get this.....with the help of the wonderful people at Apple's Tier 2 support + some screen sharing, the root cause for the crazy high daily calorie burn was.......weight was set to 17,500 pounds!!! SEVENTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS!!! LOL

Like, no wonder drinking coffee for 30 minutes registered 2,000 calories!! to make this even funnier, the weight field (Watch app --> health --> health details) has a max value of 1,000 pounds. So, I suspect the crazy high 5-digit weight value was the result of a 3rd party app glitch. For now, I'm just glad everything is back to behaving as expected.
