weight training calories

Is there any way on this site to calculate the calories for weight training?? I record the exercise, but I haven't found the calorie counts fro them

Thanks

Cals burned by weight training is really iffy, best way to determine: eat a base number of calories for 2 weeks, see what your weight does. Change calorie goal accordingly

Just enter it under cardio then it will show you an approximate calorie burn.

And this.

I just asked that same question. If you go under Cardiovascular and type in strength training you'll get a rough estimate. I was told by "My Fitness Pal" that it's not accurate but I guess it's better than nothing.

Go under cardio and look up strength training

Search for "strength" under "Cardiovascular" and enter it there. Just keep in mind that it's going to be a VERY rough estimate.

I believe you can also search for specific exercises, but not positive on that.
