I just got the Blaze. It tells me that I burned 722 calories while I slept. I am over weight, and I'm sure weight goes into its calculation for calories burned, but obviously that's a very inaccurate figure.

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.
