Interval Training

I'm doing a high intensity interval training on Youtube. Does anyone know what type of exercise I could put it down with cause I can't find it on the list?

I'm not sure what kind of interval training you're doing so I can't be for sure, but you might want to break it down into its components.

For example, I run at 9.5 MPH for 1 minute and then walk at 4 MPH for 1 minute. I go back and forth for 30 min. So, on MFP, I log it as 15 min @ 9.5 MPH and 15 min @ 4 MPH.

This only works with cardio interval training. If you're doing weight interval training, I'm not sure if its possible to accurately guage the calories lost from that.

Its cardio training one of the videos is about 500 calories & the other about 350. So will look at similar exercises but I've seen the option of creating your own. Will probably do that.

HIIT requires that you get your heart rate way up passed what solid state running would normally do. Instead of 60-70% of Max Heart Rate, HIIT generally pushes you towards 80-90% of MHR. Obviously, this'll be different for every person depending on their fitness level but you might wanna find a way to guage your heart rate to find out if you're running as hard as you should be.

All the best on your fitness journey.

Maybe as a circuit training?
I ended up just making my own HIIT exercise to my log.

Use a heart rate monitor with a chest strap to get the most accurate idea of the # of calories burned.
