Calories burned includes those burned at rest, not just when exercising. You can calculate an approximate amount of yours here

@SunsetRunner , Nice to see yo around. Thank you for your help and the linked shared. 

@Fitnesswizard , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message and information. 
As our friend Patruns  already explained, the calories burned show you not only the ones burned during an activity but also includes your  basal metabolic rate (BMR)

Your personal information (age, gender, high, etc) and your heart rate will also influence on the measurement of your calories. 

You can learn more about how Fitbit measures your calories here: 

Hope this helps you further.
