I just created an account and got my first fitbit but the app has calories burned and activity from everyday before i even got it as well as today before I did anything. The information is incorrect and annoying, how do I fix it? I can’t find anything that answers this so I don’t know if it’s a problem that happens with other people too.

Welcome to the forums!

 

There is nothing wrong

The calories burned are BMR calories. Your fitbit also calculates calories burned for your BMR. You burn calories just by being alive! Even Sleeping. Fitbit includes these burned calories in it's calorie calculations, so even if you did not wear the fitbit, you'll still burn these calories.
