Strength training not counted?

I realised that you don't accumulate any calorie burn if you put in strength training. Surely you burn more compare to cardio especially when you're recovering during sleep.

There is a strength category under cardio. Input there if you want calorie burn. It won't be much though.

If you want a calorie burn you log it under cardio

It isn't a great big burn to be honest ..most people will just record to track but log it as 1 calorie

You don't burn more than cardio but it is better for your overall body composition.

I think you have conflated the importance of rest days when strength training with sleep...you don't specifically recover because you're sleeping
