In a work day a have about 16000 steps. But thats only calculated to about 200 active calories by my watch. Can that be right?

In a work day a have about 16000 steps. But thats only calculated to about 200 active calories by my watch Is that normal? I would think it should be at least 600-800. Is there something im missing.

i have a feeling that all the small distances i walk in a day arent being calculated in as active. Anyone else?

It depends largely on the intensity of those 16000 steps (is it continuous walking? any stairs? does your HR go up? or is it stop and go?) and your heartrate zones (which define the intensity). While 200 looks on the low side 800 would be way too much (I get approx 1100 calories from running a slow half marathon which is 19-20k steps).
