Resting calories?

i recently got a fitness tracker (jawbone) that has an app to track calories,distance,etc. On the app it has a section for resting calories (calories u burn while doing nothing) and it said I burned over 1,000 cal? Is that possible? I don't add it towards the burned calories on mfp because I just don't believe that.

    What do you think your sedentary calorie burn on MFP is?

    You are absolutely right to not add it. MFP does it for you. My resting calories are about 1440, so yes, over 1000 is quite believable.
