Unless I'm entering my strength training wrong, MFP isn't calculating and calories burned for doing it, only when I enter cardio. I'm putting in the exercises I've done with sets/reps/weight. I'm just trying to figure this thing out. :smiley: Thanks!!

    Calories burned during lifting are hard to measure. You can add an estimate. Continue to add your sets/reps etc in the strength training section and then add your time lifting in the cardio section under weight training. It will only give you an estimate.
