Hi.

I just got a blaze today. While on daash board, I can see the calories burned. However, it shows calory burned back to Dec 2015 which I did not even own a fit bit then... What gives? And how to get rid of it

Hi, @SunsetRunner! The calories you are seeing are your basal metabolic rate (BMR) calories. Based on the height, weight, age, and gender you enter into your account, Fitbit calculates the calories you burn during the day just by being alive. It sets this to a constant rate over the day by dividing the total by 15 minutes, the segments you would see if you look at a plot of your calories. Then, over the day, it adds these calories on. When you exercise, Fitbit adds those calories burned to your BMR calories. Based on the data from your first day, Fitbit back populates this BMR for about a year to give you a comparison point.
