Calories out

[Crozbies]

I don't understand the calories....I wanted this to do EVERYTHING rather than use different apps like myfitness pal & runtastic BUT how can I have burnt 619 calories when I've been out of bed for 38 mins, made my bed and walked down stairs? I'm confused by it.....these things are not cheap so I want the best out of it! TIA

I think your fitbit is working fine.

As well as tracking 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 (age, weight etc) so you needn't be wearing your fitbit to get them. What you are seeing is the total BMR calories since midnight. There's more information on this here:
