The estimated calories burned that Fitbit shows combines the energy expended in any activity with the Base Metabolic Rate (BMR) that you burn just to keep alive (body temp, blood pumping, etc.). The BMR is based on your stats - sex, age, height, weight... You can locate several BMR calculators in the internet as a check on the accuracy of the Fitbit estimate.
