Fit Bit just plugged in, states 1066 cals burned

I haven't even worn it yet and it states 1066 calories burned. Is this simply an estimate of my basic metabolic rate? My goal of calories burned per day is 2184

Is this brand new? it starts counting from the factory. soon as you register it that will go away and start over.

Hard to remember, been a while since I first got mine....
Did you just plug it in for the 1st time ever?? If you did, I think it estimates what you would have burned today, based on the info you plugged in the computer. If I remember correctly. Like, I said, been a while since I got mine lol

If you have already synced it with your account it is showing your BMR calories (what you burn just by living) for the day so far. It will reset at midnight.

That's what I figured. Thank you!!! I'm pretty pumped about using it!

Do you guys track your sleep with it?

Yes, it's brand new. It's all registered and ready to go...just states that I've already burned 1066 calories.

its a guess, if i have mine just laying around it still counts even if its not worn

Also, the fit bit calorie Adjustment....does it only "adjust" calories burned and add it to your MFP diary if it is enough to be "worth" adding in your exercise diary in MFP?

Did that question make any sense?? lol

I track my sleep. It works well for it.
