My Calorie Goal changed overnight?

Anyone else have this happen? Yesterday, I exercised like a crazy person. Advanced Kettlebell class for one hour. An entire day of heavy yard work, PLUS a 4.5km walk at a good pace with the dog. My calorie goal was super high because of activity (I have a fitbit that syncs as well) and I ate back most of my exercise calories. When I finished eating and logging, I was under my calorie goal by about 230cals (it even shows on my home thread that I was under goal) This morning I wake up, checked my log and it shows I went over by 10 calories (not a big deal AT ALL) but wondering why this would happen?

Any ideas?

    I think the Fitbit does some amount of assuming what your activity level will be for the rest of the day based on what you've done up until then, and then has to back it out if you don't actually keep moving at that speed. At least that's my guess based on when it's done that to me as well.

    I would have to agree. My bodymedia fit does the same thing to me.
