    If you're talking about strength training exercises, you get calorie estimates for those by adding the total strength training time (including the normal rests between sets) as "strength training" under cardiovascular exercise. The strength exercise area is just for rep/set counts.

    Agree with AnnPT77, but honestly, weight lifting does not burn many calories. I would not rely on it to create a bigger calorie deficit
