Welcome to Android Central! You can go to Settings>Data Usage to see what has been using your data. These days, phones are often refreshing data on a frequent basis, even when idle--it could be 3rd party apps, preinstalled apps, or the system. If it's too much for you, you can go to Settings>Data Usage and Restrict Background Data--but keep in mind that this can make you miss email notifications (and other notifications) when your phone is asleep.
