Charge 5 calories counting issue

[SunsetRunner]

Watch not Warren for a week and every day it counts over 2000 calories burned.

What????

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 shows the total BMR calories for each day.

Hello @SunsetRunner 

Did it count any steps etc?  I’m imagining not.

I think it would depend on what weight and height you set up in your profile.  A lot of those calories will be coming from your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate).  These are considered the calories you need to stay alive. Mine is 1,342 today, so even if I didn’t move (or wear my watch) it would probably register that number.  

Any exercise you do each day would increase the number.  Obviously you didn’t wear it, so there shouldn’t be any exercise adding to the number.

Actually, that IS really strange that it’s recording anything at all as you wouldn’t have a heart beat registering either.  Are there any other stats in your App?
