Why is there no resistance band calorie burn on MFP? It is another way to do strength training if you can use weights but you can't put it into your exercise routine. Please add

    You can add it in weight training as resistance bands are the same as if you used free weights or machines, just not as intense depending on the type of bands used. I wouldn't log it though (I never log my weight training) because the calorie burn is negligible during the exercise. You might set yourself up for failure by adding calories available to your log that you didn't particularly earn.
