im new to this site and was just wondering if you put in the exercise you do for strength training will it show how many calories you burnt? or do you only get exercise calories for cardio? i cant seem to get it to work.

    For me the site greatly underestimated what I burned. I use a heart rat monitor where I've previously set it to my age, sex, height, weight .. etc. . . and it shows how many calories I burn during a workout, as well as my heart rate. I plug in my own calories on here by adding "strength training" under "cardio" an I manually put in what my heart rate monitor shows I've burned.
