Fitbit includes BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories burned.  These are calories you are always burning just by being alive.  They are credited, even for times you were not wearing the tracker.

See How does my Fitbit device calculate calories burned? 

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

@Ekin_ Welcome! It's great to see you around! 

Let me help you with your caloric burn calculation. What you see for the days you didn't wear your tracker is the calories burned by your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. These are the calories you body use for its normal functions. You can read more about this here and the numbers sound normal. For the days you wore the tracker then your heart rate and activities detected will be added to your caloric burn calculation. If you thing these numbers are incorrect then you can check your personal information (I am not sure if you meant this when you say "I control my personel informations.").

@JohnnyRow thank you for your help in this thread.

Let me know how it goes.
