Hi @KatMary1980 - your body consumes calories all the time so the watch tries to estimate how many calories you've used by the time you wake up.

In the Fitbit App click profile photo and App settings and units, you may want to switch to calories.

@KatMary1980   There is something very off with that calorie burn estimate.  Please double check your personal information.  Tap on your profile avatar, then your name, then personal.  Fitbit uses the Mifflin-St.Jeor equation to estimate basal calorie burn.  Your 1390 calories when you wake up is my BMR for the whole day.

@LZeeW  - it is normal if it is in kilojoules, as suggested, changing to calories should fix it.
