My blaze is telling me I've already taken 350 steps and burned 740 calories. I wish this was correct but it can't be I've only been up for 45 minutes. Is there any way to reset those numbers. I've only had Fitbit for less than 24 hours but this info is totally inaccurate. Please help!

I don't know about the steps but the calories are probably OK.  As well as tracking calories burned through activity, your fitbit measures your BMR calories (those you burn just keeping your body alive) and the total you see include the BMR calories burned since midnight.

That may not be incorrect. Most people burn between 600-1000 calories while you're sleeping. The steps come into play because calories are being burned. So it's not incorrect. This is a 24-7 calorie counting device. It doesn't stop when you decide to sleep and if you take the device when you sleep then it's your fault.
