Can someone tells why this app does not let you or calculate the estimated calories burnt for a weight lifting session/excercise? Even for cardio interval training it does not calculate correctly.

I would also be interested in knowing that. I know everyone probably uses this app a little differently but for me, the amount of calories I take in TOMORROW are calculated whatever I burn TODAY + 250. I always have to guesstamate because I don't know the calories burned during my weight training sessions0
