If you add exercises it shoudl show you the calorie burns which it then awards you back as eatback calories. Exercise caution and eat up to 50% of these.

I logged my stability ball exercises but it didn't give me an option for calories burned.

If there are no Calories associated with the exercises you are entering, the most likely explanation is that you are adding an exercise to the Strength Training section. You must add exercises to the Cardiovascular section to get an estimate for Calories burned.
___________________________
Add "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" to Cardiovascular to get estimated Calories Burned added to your Diary. Please note that the Calories burned for Cardiovascular exercises are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual. If desired, add individual strength training exercises, such as "Biceps Curl," to Strength Training to have a log of sets, reps, and weights as individual exercises.
