Total Burned Calories Inconsistency

[Marshal22]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has an explanation for "Total Burned Calories" from the previous day change over time.

I have a Watch5 Pro, and every morning I close out the previous day in my records by recording the total burned calories. However, if I come back at a later date, or even hours later, the number from that same day is now different.

For example, this morning, yesterday had 2265 total burned calories. Now, tonight, it says 2453 for yesterday. I don't know which number to take as accurate.

Thanks!

So calculations after the completion of a day are retroactively updated based on your latest composition scan. That means I must record the number at 12:01am if I want to use it for nutrition logging purposes. Not a great system, but at least I know it's not a glitch.
