I noticed the only calories that get counted as "burned" on this site are the cardio calories. I do more weight training than cardio and I know for sure I'm burning plenty of calories lifting weights. Does anyone know how to get those calories counted on this site?

You have to go into the cardio portion and choose weight lifting. It's stupid but that's how they do it.0

You can also list circuit training.0
