Why do minutes of calories burned not equal to minutes of activity?

I just did 17 active minutes of walking. The heart rate was in the cardio zone and peak zones with fat burning just two minutes., When I checked the activity chart, it said I had burned calories for ten minutes. What was I doing the other 7 minutes that were included in the CDC's definition of "active?"

@Konababe,

That chart only goes in 5-minute intervals starting on even 5 minutes on the clock.
