Hi, I would like to ask you about calories counting. I start every day with 1535 cals, so at the end of the day I have someting about 3000 cals, which is incorrect. What can I do to reset initial calories? I have Fitbit Charge 2. Thank you for answer.

It might actually be working ok.

 

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 in the morning is the total BMR calories burned since they reset at midnight.

 

It's hard to say whether the number is being calculated correctly as it varies from person to person but you could google BMR calculator to find an online calculator you could use to compare with fitbit.
