I know that this site doesn't calculate strength training calories burnt so when I get them calculated how do I put them in, would you add a entry into Cardio or am I missing something?

I had the same question, but I was wondering how you even calculate the strength training calories?0

I keep seeing people say that there are calculators on the internet that can help with it.0

In the cardio database there is "strength training" and that's what I use. It, like all the cardio stuff, goes by the length of time you are doing the exercises.
Hope this helps.0 -
Suzi is correct that there are entries in the cardio section of exercise to give you an idea about calories burned, but really, the most accurate way to determine what you are burning is to wear a heart rate monitor while you are doing your strength training and calculate it from there (or let the monitor tell you what you have burnt in that time). It all depends on how accurate you seek to be with the counting.
Hope you find what you are after!
