Hi everyone, I am not a big fan of weights so I limit my strength exercise to free hand workout with pushups, crunches etc. I am wondering how do I measure calories burnt in each set of pushups and crunches so can log MFP. Any idea?

not enough that it would be worth logging/eating back if that is why you are asking??0 -
Yeah, unless you are doing them for a solid hour with few brief breaks there' nothing to count really.0

i lost two stone by logging everything i ate honestly staying in the green and using the following guidelines logged under cardio;
cardio = number of minutes x 10
Strength/bodyweight = number of minutes x 5
works for me1 -
I use 120 cal/hr for lifting and body wt exercises, net of rest periods bet lifts but including rest bet sets. Workd for me.0
