The calories sound about right. 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 includes the total BMR calories burned since they reset midnight. 

 

Your steps would also have reset at midnight and a few can be expected from random arm movement during the night being mistaken for steps. With a default daily target of 10,000 steps I wouldn't worry too much about getting a head start of 43
