So I bought it to day and in my history I burned 1960 calories for the last year?! And it seems like you can't delete it either.

@Russian1902  Those are your BMR calories - you can read more about it here.

Hi Cat Happy

 

Have moved this thread from the Blaze to the Surge section since mentioning having a Surge.

Thank you for your participation in the forums @Kmransom123! I'll be glad to help. Smiley Happy

 

The data you're seeing is a guestimate of your historical caloric burn. Although Fitbit doesn't have activity recorded at that time, we can base your caloric burn activity (before you've had a tracker) via your BMR.

 

Your Fitbit will reset at midnight every night, clearing your data for the day; however you still burn calories while you sleep or rest, so the data you see is your estimated calorie burn for the day or BMR, it is estimated using your age, gender, height and weight.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, happy stepping! Smiley Very Happy
