Calorie counter doesn’t make sense

[Asbreuning]

So, I don’t understand how it calculates calories across different data. For example, here are 2 days across the last week:

Last Thursday: 4686 steps, 1860 calories, 2 min activity min (clearly a lazy day)

Today: 10,090 steps, 1567 calories, 29 min activity time.

How am I burning 300 calories more with 1/2 the steps and no activity time?

Could it be to do with timing? If the stats for last Thursday were taken today then they will include your BMR calories up to midnight (these are the calories you burn just keeping your body alive). The stats for today will only include the BMR calories burned up to the current time.
