  • Hi Xyynyth, its possible that your Fitbit Flex is correct. Your body burns calories all day long while you’re doing various activities, not just exercising. Your body needs energy to function.

Some supplements make you jittery and some will give you a rush and then you slow down. As long as you're eating the right…
