    Go into cardio and type "Strength Training"

    I wear a heart rate monitor for body weight training mixed in with some cardio. While I don't burn calories as fast as I do when running for the same time period, I do burn calories.
  • They aren't set up for that because it would vary so much based on the intensity level, time you take between sets, how many reps, etc.

    As mentioned add it in under cardio using Strength training...although not sure I would rely on those numbers...

    Most I know who lift switch to TDEE so we don't have to bother with that foolishness...just tracking it by changing calories to 1
