reset tracking

[jenna1234]

Wondering how to reset all of the data I've tried to do the reset on the watch itself and didn't appear to reset how would I do this as it shows I've burned 669 calories and I haven't moved

The reason your Fitbit is showing calories burned without doing anything is becasue it is calculating your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which is how many calories your body burns just keeping itself alive (e.g. digestion, brain function, breathing etc.). If you notice your Fitbit probably shows the same amount of calories burned before you even got your Fitbit if you scroll way down. Hypothetically this is the amount of calories your body would burn if you did not move and inch all day. Then when you take steps and are active it adds to that calorie count because you are burning even more by moving around!

Hope this helps

The calories you are seeing are your basal metabolic rate (BMR) calories. Based on the height, weight, age, and gender you enter into your account, Fitbit calculates the calories you burn during the day just by being alive. It sets this to a constant rate over the day by dividing the total by 15 minutes, the segments you would see if you look at a plot of your calories. Then, over the day, it adds these calories on. When you exercise, Fitbit adds those calories burned to your BMR calories.
