Calorie calculation seems off

[SamBC]

So, this has me doing a walk over just under 40 minutes, a little over 1.2km, 36 zone minutes, over 1300 steps...

And burning just 40 calories more than it reckons I do in 40 minutes asleep.

What's going on?

Same, I've also got a post about this exact same problem. Doesn't matter whether I track the walk by start exercise or just let it automatically track. The other day I tracked a walk of around an hour, 3 miles and it shows as 31 calories. Last night I walked with a friend, she's similar size to me and her calorie calculation was about three times as much as mine. I do a similar walk every morning, used to be about 500 calories, today, 134.

So I guess I'm not the only one, but it's obviously not universal, nor seemingly widespread. 

I get a better calculation if I start the exercise on my watch, but it's still off as the watch stops tracking steps recorded by the phone if my clothes cover it, and I use a walking frame so my arms aren't swinging. 

I'm considering whether clearing cache or data might help. I assume data is kept in the cloud, but I'll start with cache on Monday.

I have the same problem. When I manually add soccer training for 1h 30min, it only shows 150 calories burned. A few months ago, it was 1500 calories burned.
