Do you log all your strength training?

Just curious if people log all the different strength training moves they do. I write them down in a log book at the gym but don't log them once I get home. Since it doesn't change my calories and I haven't found a graphing tool through MFP for the strength training moves, I was wondering for those who do, what do you get out of it? I log the cardio, because that changes something, not that it *really matters* since I'm using the TDEE-20% meathod.

Anyway just curious.

    If you search under the cardio section for strength training/weight training, it will give you a value.
    I do log it. MFP gives a small amount, which is fine. It gives me some extra calories on days I strength train but not too many so that if it is incorrect it will make or break my deficit. I get about 200 calories per 1 hour.

    I just realized you used TDEE, then no it really doesn't matter.

    If you like it to come up in your newsfeed you use the generic entry and change the calories to 1 or create your own entry and log it as 1 calorie as well.
