@SunsetRunner It's hard to provide the exact cause of why you are seeing less calories today, but I think that context matters here.

For instance: manually logged workouts, BMR, exercise intensity, and heart rate (if your tracker supports it) all influence your caloric burn. Click here for more information on how Fitbit estimates calories burned.

Hope this helps!
