Why does my Ionic tell me I've been burning calories when I'm not wearing it.  I take my watch off at night and when I put it on in the morning, it says I've burned X amount of calories.  I have 0 steps but today I burned 837 calories. Happens everyday.

The calories burned are BMR calories. Your fitbit also calculates calories burned for your BMR. You burn calories just by being alive! Even Sleeping. Fitbit includes these burned calories in it's calorie calculations, so even if you did not wear the fitbit, you'll still burn these calories.
