Why is the ESX Host Mem - MB usage inaccurate?

I want to migrate virtual machines to a different host to perform  mainteance on a host.  However, I'm concerned about migrating VMs and  maxing out the memory on the new host.  For example, in the Virtual  Machines tab the Host Mem - MB, VMware is reporting the VM is using 11GB  of memory.  When I check the actually memory usage on the VM it was  only at 3GB.  When I migrate the VM to a host I'm concerned it will  report memory usage at 11GB.  I need to migrate a couple of VMs to a  host, but they are all reporting more memory usage then acutally used.   Is there a way to refresh the host to report the actually memory usage  so when I migrate the VM to a new host, the gaing host does not think I  needs 11GB?
