Hey Fitbit fam, so I just recently got a Fitbit blaze and I’m trying to figure out why it continues to track even when I’m not wearing it? I got it so I can accurately track my calories burned but I can’t imagine it’s accurate when it continues to track when I’m not wearing it or driving. Anyone else have this issue and can someone please tell me how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums!

 

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.
