Calories burned wrong

[EMS394]

Hi 

I’m new to Fitbit and have just set up my blaze, however I’ve only had it on an hour and it is already saying I’ve burned 732 calories which can’t be right! Please help 

thanks

Actually, I think it is right.

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:

These calories where added with the creation of your account. @EMS394, as @SteveH points out they represent the BMR since midnight.
