Does anyone know what these are under in the exercise section? I can't find them.

    Why not just use the "push ups" entry? I can't image the burn would be significant. If you want to actually see "press ups" in your log, then you could just define a custom exercise with the same burn as a push up...

    Not really because I can feel that kneeling push-ups take less energy than proper push ups.

    Do you mean modified push ups on your knees? (Not trying to be picky, just trying to understand the exercise you are talking about). I haven't seen that in MFP and would just put as a push up but make a note that you modified it (then you can show to yourself when you have progressed to other styles of pushups!). With push ups, you lose less than half a calorie per kg body weight per push up. I imagine modified is slightly less than that but not so much as to separate the exercise. They still suck when you do a bunch in a row!
