Set up my new Blaze yesterday. Did not sleep with it on. Put it on this morning of course 0 steps but  calories burned read 536. Heart rate is on auto. stride length is set on default. I am wearing on my non dominate wrist. Should I change some settings?

The calories burned are BMR calories. Your fitbit also calculates calories burned for your BMR. You burn calories just by being alive! Even Sleeping. Fitbit includes these burned calories in it's calorie calculations, so even if you did not wear the fitbit, you'll still burn these calories.
