Calories are under budget but next line reads over? WTH?

ANSWERED

I have my plan set to -250 b/c I don't need to lose too much and if it was set higher, I'd be under my BMR. First thing I read today is 1340 in/1696 out and 556 calories over. Monday, I was fine and had calories left to eat and wasn't over target. I'm so confused! I workout each day for approx 1hour doing yoga and may take walk after dinner for 30-45 mins. I'm 4'9" and 107 trying to get to 105 b/c I feel better around that  that weight. Can someone please put this in an easy way to understand it? I feel more confused when I read other posts concerning the same topic.

Thanks so much!

It's a bug where the over/under figure for previous days is wrong, you'll have to calculate the deficit yourself. You were 106 under budget.

True. It happens every day, but we learn to work around it. For me, the current day is always accurate, but the preceeding day is off. Here's a screenshot of yesterday on my app. Note that this is for yesterday, a completed day lol. How can I have 398 calories left in my budget, yet be "over budget"? Like I said, it happens every day. If I look at this particular day tomorrow, it will be fine - but it's always wrecked when one day ago:
