Those are your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  They are always credited, even when you are not wearing the tracker.

See How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned? 

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
