My FB is literally making me wish I never brought it. So the calories are so inaccurate because some night at 12am when it resets it would be laying on my dresser and everything else says 0 but calories shows a number that I know is inaccurate simply because I hadn't touched it at all. It makes me not want to use it at all because I can rely on false motivation I'd rather not know my stats at all.

Are you taking into account your BMR calories? These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when sleeping). They are calculated from your profile settings so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them.
