Hello, I am using the exercise tracker to monitor my runs. The number of calories burned seemed to have reduced for the same runs...a 9k run burned 700+ calories previously but is now only logging about 400ish for the same run. Using android phone not a wristband...? Anyone have the same issues?

Welcome to the Community! @jimbob1980

 

This happened to me once. I noticed that the activity showed me, that I took less steps than the other activities. It had  almost the same time and distance. So, that's the reason why my calories burned were down; because I was less intense during the run/walk. If this did not happen to you, post some screenshots to have a better appreciation of it.

 

I hope this helps! Robot Very Happy
