    It estimates your TDEE. divides that by 24 and then each hour, adds that amount on to your calories.

    Don't forget that you burn around 65 calories an hour even sleeping.

    What time did you check it? about 5am?

    Yikes, simmer.

    It estimates your burn for the day no matter what you do: sitting still, running, walking, stairs etc. Even if you're sitting still, you're still burning calories.

    So, I burn 2100 calories a day just sitting there and doing nothing. If I run/weights for a day, I'm going to burn around 2800. Which means I have around 700 "extra calories" for my day. It's quite simple, really.

    Do you take sleeping pills? Maybe you got up in the middle of the night......sleepwalked.......and then put it back when you got back in bed? I think that's probably the best explanation. Sounds dangerous. I hope you didn't drive. You could kill someone.

    Those are the calories you use up simply by being alive. It calculated it from the data you put into your account (height weight and gender) so at the end of the day it shows you total calories burned and not just the calories you burn by walking around

    I would need some help too, I am still pondering whether to buy a fitbit, I would need to know whther it would track any exercise or activity I do, besides walking-running. I mean, does it track calories burnt while lifting weights, while cleaning the house, when doing some deskwork, or driving?
    Because this is what I would really like to track, so I can accurately calculate my TDEE.
    thank you in advance for the information and advice!

    The fitbit can't do any of that, it's an accurate pedometer. Your best bet is a heart rate monitor. Like the polar FT4 or FT7.
