Hello, 

I have a question with my inspire HR. 
I want to know how it count the calories, because even when I’m not wearing it, it shows that I’ve burned many calories. 
can anyone explain it for me please ? 
Is this an error that need to fix or what?

It is not an error.  Fitbit counts your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just to stay alive.  These are credited even when not wearing the tracker.  And you cannot turn them off.

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