Morning all. Just got a Fitbit charge HR today and when I set up the app it shows that I've burned 1732 calories every day for the last X weeks. Is there a way to get rid of this? Thanks.

It's nice to have a new member in the Fitbit Community, Welcome @Adam_barber Smiley Very Happy!  When you create a Fitbit account, the website uses your physical data (weight, height etc) to calculate your BMR calories.These are the minimum calories you'd need to burn every day to stay alive. It then populates your profile with this calorie burn back for six months or so to give you a sensible baseline against which to compare your future calorie burn once your tracker starts tracking your exercise and adding exercise calories to your BMR calories.

 

The short answer is that what you're seeing is correct behaviour and the calorie counts re individualised to you.

 

Hope that clarifies your question, have a nice day!
