    Exercise calorie burns provided by MFP are estimates. Some are high, some are pretty good. Strength training estimates are found under cardiovascular. Those are a total guess.

    If you are going to exercise regularly and don't need the motivation of seeing calorie burns you might consider using a TDEE (total daily energy expenditure) calculator & include exercise up front. Then just take a cut from there. That way logging exercise isn't even needed. The exercise calories are just averaged out for the week.
