Welcome to fitbit!

 

I think this is probably ok.

 

As well as tracking the calories you burn 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, weight etc so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. If you look at a day before you got your fitbit it can still calculate the BMR calories for that day.
