Calories are calculated based on your HR and the HR Variability (assuming you own a device with an integrated HRM). So check your HR and the Stress graphs for the concerned day(s) and compare them to those at the days where the Calories burn was satisfactory to your expectations. Besides that, the personal data like the age, gender, height, weight, and the Activity Class in User Settings play a role, so verify whether they are alright (especially directly on your watch).

Thank you Trux. I compared the HR graphs and you are absolutely right. My HR during that short walk (up a mountain, so there's that) got quite high for a while, so that must be it. Thanks again!
