I set up my FitBit Blaze on Tuesday, and it began with a count of 869.  I decided to wait until today, and it is showing a count of 555 - but I haven't used it.  What is the deal?

Welcome to fitbit!

 

As well as tracking calories burned through activity your fitbit also tracks your BMR calories. These are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive (even when asleep). They are calculated from your profile settings for age, height, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories burned since midnight. There's more information on this here:
