Ok . I just woke up, walked to my bathroom and as I look at my Fitbit . my Inspire 2 is telling me I burned 178 calories in 76 steps??  I question the steps (maybe 40 - 50) . . This data can not possibly be true? how can that be?

Hi @AMaher  burned calories, steps and everything else begin the day at midnight. So those burned calories are since midnight. Burned calories come from your BMR (base metabolism rate) which is derived from the information you gave when signing up. Your age, gender, height, weight all come into play to determine your caloric burn.
