Why do my calories burned from exercise sometimes go down as the day goes on? For example I'd burned 670 earlier and now its 640?? Is it maybe because I was still for a couple of hhours?

Are you talking about a calorie adjustment from a fitness tracker? If so, which one?

Calories burned is an estimate as are calories consumed. Regardless of the source of the information, you should consider that the amount can be off, considerably.

Yes sorry I didn't explain myself its synced to my fitbit flex

MFP has a Fitbit Users group: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/forums/show/1307-fitbit-users

If you click on the calorie adjustment, you'll see the explanation. Your Fitbit burn is your TDEE. When you sync your Flex, Fitbit sends your burn to MFP. MFP estimates what your burn will be by midnight, then compares that number to your activity level.

Your adjustment changes throughout the day. Enable negative calorie adjustments, or you might not eat at a deficit on less active days: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings

And disable Fitbit's calorie estimation: https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/edit
