Anyone know how it knows and calculates how much fluid lost and how much fluid consumed and also how it calculates how many calories consumed?
I drank about 1.6 litres and it thinks I put in 2.1 litres, and I consumed about 150 calories and it thinks I consumed 600. I have not put in any data for this, it just reported this data.
Any ideas?

If you're not inputting data, then it's just guessing. The best way to track calories while riding is with a power meter. Total watts is nearly a 1-to-1 ratio with calories burned.
Some pedal power meter info -

I use Assioma pedals. They've been very reliable and hassle free.
