I have reset my fitbit three times and the calorie tracker will not reset each day.

I only use it during workouts at the gym. I don't wear it during the day at all and even shutdown when not in use.

I turned it on just now and everything is at zero except calories. It says I have burned 555 calories so far today. How if I haven't even put it on yet? Any thoughts?

 I think your Flex is working fine.

 

As well as tracking calories you burn 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 (age, weight etc) so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories since midnight.
