Fitbit calorie confusion

I just got my fitbit today, and I'm confused. Fitbit tells me I've burnt 1343 calories - I'm assuming most of this is just my BMR, since I've only walked 593 steps, I assumed that since it's linked with mfp, it would only start logging calorie 'burn' once my the calories burnt got above my MFP BMR which mfp says 2320 a day (sedentary) but MFP already say I've burned 641 exercise calories. Huh? so confused, it's confusing me. I'm easily confused.

Did you go to Fitbit and set up your goals there? Here's a link to a fitbit topic that might could help you.

thanks, I've set it for a 750 calorie deficit and how many steps I'm aiming for etc. Is that all I have to do?0
