MFP doesn't give a calorie burned count for strength/weight training?! I know I was burning calories.
Any idea why that is?

    You can log it in under cardio. Just put how long your session lasted and it will give you calories burned under the cardio tab.:smile:

    It all depends on your intensity. Best thing to do is get a heart rate monitor & let that tell you how many calories you are burning.

    I also put it under cardio. That is annoying that it doesn't have it under weight training.
