Confused by FitBit - any help appreciated!

Hi,

I got the Inspire HR and just set it up. In the app it says I’ve burned 1241 calories today. But I have no idea how it came up with that figure - I only set it up 20 minutes ago?? Does it calculate based on your weight and height, and the fact that it thinks I’ve done no exercise today?

It's going off your bmr up to that point. It's assuming you weren't dead before setting it up.

So you mean the 1241 is just what it took my body to stay alive?

That is the premise, yes.
