Calories vs steps changed?

Since Friday I have noticed a significant reduction in the number of calories Samsung Health is saying I have burnt for the same number of steps (same route/same length of time) previously. Has anyone else experienced similar or have a solution?

It's also based on a few other factors:

Weight change, if recorded- heavier/ lighter people use different amount of kcal walking
Heart rate, if wearing a wearable.
If you didn't record your height beforehand and have now recorded it.
And other factors such as other activities recorded.

Thanks for your reply, but no, I haven't changed anything in my profile. And I'm not using a wearable. Its just off my phone - S24 Ultra.

I have the same issue. Down ~30-40% or so. Previously 2000 steps ≈ 100 cal. Now, happy to get over 60.

Same issue ... 15.000 steps gave me 1000 burned calories. Now just 500 calories .... demotivating as hell

Same issue.  I use this as my primary step counter, and this is a very demotivating change.  It's OK to update for accuracy, but communicate that somewhere!
