I walked 50mins this morning & the app said I burned 289cals. I just walked again for another 50mins and it said I burned 231cals. Why the difference?

Pace is at 2.0mph both time. First walk 10am, second walk at 8pm.

    The best way to estimate how many calories you burn is to get a good heart rate monitor. You program it with your specific information like age, weight and resting heart rate and it will have a more accurate number for calories burned.

    Did you change your weight at some point today between your two walks? If your weight changes, the amount of calories you burn changes.

    No, I didn't change anything. Other than add the food I had for lunch earlier. Would that have anything to do with it?
