Hi @denise.o19  burned calories are normal, even when you're not wearing your Fitbit. The day begins at midnight and when you set up, you entered information which translates to your BMR which is why you're seeing burned calories. The more active you are, the more burned calories you'll see. If you're not moving, it estimates an amount based on your information.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it is not totally wrong.  Fitbit includes your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just to stay alive, and yes you are burning those even when you are not wearing the tracker.
