Calories

[saran-saran-69]

Even the blaze watch is idle, the calories progressively increasing in the sync phone. Y?

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 includes the total BMR calories burned since midnight and they progressively increase throughout the day and night.

Thanks. I understand that it is a calculation from the input data I have given and not a determination. In that case there should be a constant BMR calorie for 24 hrs. What is the general BMR per day for an adult?

Thanking you with Best Regards,

You're right, the BMR calories are burned at a constant rate day and night. To see what fitbit has calculated for you have a look at your calorie burn rate for a time when you are asleep as this will be purely BMR calories.

There are a number of BMR calculators on the web that you can google and use them to compare with the fitbit calculations.
