I’ve just purchased my first Fitbit and have got it to track my activity each day. I’ve charged it up and synced it to my phone but I’m really confused. The calorie burner was already at 843 calories without it even being on my wrist. Can anyone explain why? I haven’t even been active yet today. Any help would be appreciated

Hi, and welcome to the Community!

 

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 includes the total BMR calories burned since midnight.
