When you have no grip on anything in life, counting those cals is what keeps me sane but also not?
Good News. You’re alive and kicking!
So what is the answer to this common Fitbit question?
Your Fitbit tracker’s calories-burned total resets each night at midnight. So the number you see on your tracker (or in your Fitbit app) first thing in the morning when you wake up after a night’s sleep, is your estimated calorie burn for the day so far.
It’s based largely on your basal metabolic rate (BMR) or the energy your body expends at rest—even when you’re sleeping!—just to keep you alive. BMR powers basic but vital life processes, like breathing and thinking, and accounts for most of your daily calorie burn. (For more information on BMR, see How Does Fitbit Estimate How Many Calories I’ve Burned?)
Once you’re up and moving around, Fitbit will also take your heart rate (if your tracker has this feature) and any activity—automatically or manually logged—into account. Even housework burns calories, as does all the activity you do as a busy parent.
So, rest assured that your Fitbit is keeping tabs on all your activity and working out those calories burned for you as you go about your day!
