hi everyone! I just started using my charge 5 today, and I saw this strange data about calories on my mobile app. Is this normal? It seems to have automatically set 1600 burned calories for each day. I definitely did not burn 1600 calories today, as I just opened this Fitbit 😂

Those are your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calories that you are always burning just to stay alive.  They are credited even when not wearing the watch, and fill in backwards in history.

From How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
