Last night around 10:30pm I set my fitbit on the charger because it was on 14%. I left it on the charger all night, put it on this morning and it says I've taken 0 steps (accurate) but have burned 249 calories (hmmm..) Can someone explain this to me? Or has anyone else had this problem as well? Also, pages take awhile to load when I swipe the screen..

Did you breathe during that time? Di d your heary beat? Did you move at all? The calories burmed are the calories it takes to keep you alive - your BMR calories. Fitbit always records them whether youare wearing it or not. Because whether you are wearing it or not you are still burning those calories (unless you died of course!)
