Why do my blaze say I have 26 steps when it's been on the charger for the past 3 days, and I burned calories

Hi, @Tashy86! The small number of steps could just be from vibrations or from someone brushing into the charger. The calories are just the calories Fitbit estimates you burn from existing (your BMR calories). They're based on your gender, age, height, and weight. If you don't do anything all day but sit around, that's the calories you burn to stay alive.
