That seems high, but it depends on your size, age, what you're doing.

Also make sure your settings are right. If you've input the age or weight wrong for example it will greatly impact the calorie burn estimates you get since it basically measures your heat rate and runs some calculations off those inputs.

I'm 5'11, 36, started the year at 194lbs.
I burn around 2700-2800 calories per day and workout 6 days a week. I've been eating 2200 calories for a deficit and down to 178 lbs (16 lb loss over 14 weeks).

3300 seems quite high unless you're much bigger than me.
No smaller actually34 years old 5'9 152 pounds I do alot of weight training 6 days a week different body areas and walk over 10k steps a day with cardio days every 2nd day I would consider myself between very active and extremely active but even then my body weight calculator says I should be eating about 2900 calories to build muscle
