UP and Health Kit not reporting the same?

Hey guys!
I just got an UP band and before this I had been using the Health Kit to track my steps, but I thought the UP band would be better since I don't always have my phone with me. My problem is, when I have MFP get my steps from the Health Kit, I get extra calories (for example right now for about 8,000 steps I'm getting an extra 124 calories) but when I have the steps I don't get any adjustments (for the same amount I have 0). Any idea why this would be?
I don't consume the extra calories, but I'm curious as to why such a difference.
Thanks!

Health was guesstimating your burn, since as you said you don't have your iPhone on your body at all times.0
