i just got my fitbit in the mail, and after i set it up it said that i have already burned 1258 calories today- even though i havent worn its at all yet! is this calculation based off of my bmr, and just displaying the amount it has calculated i have burned based on what time it is and how much my bmr is?

    Yes, based on the info you put in height weight etc... you would have burned that many calories at this point in the day. I had the same question when I set mine up.

    Yeah, I was confused about the calories burned despite no exercise at first.

    After reading through it's actual on line manual, I finally figured it out.
