Hi @Lou123456 

 

It is estimating your resting metabolism, that is, the calories you burn just be being alive (breathing, pumping blood, digesting food, making new cells etc), in terms of calories burned since midnight.  The later in the day, that higher the number will be even if you don't wear your fitbit. Of course, now that you've started to actually wear your fitbit, it will start adding the calories it thinks you are burning based on your movement and activity.  Hope that helps.
