yes

there is absolutely NO WAY HR alone can tell you anything about calories burned.

one of which is the application the OP plugs his HRM data into.

on a ride i did a few weeks ago, strava said i'd burned 4000 calories and garmin connect said i'd burned 950. same height, weight, max HR data in both applications but that's a WIDE range.
