It could be right.  Fitbit counts your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just by being alive.  These typ;ically count for more than half of your daily calorie burn.

For more info on this, see:

How does Fitbit estimate how many calories I've burned?

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