Are you supposed to get additional calories for strength training? The "track exercise" section figures out how many additional calories I get for the cardiovascular exercises but when I put in my strength training exercises, it doesn't give me any additional calories.. Shouldn't it give me some for the strength training too?

    Impossible to say. It's really difficult to track calories burned during strength training, as it can vary widely from day to day, and even minute to minute. You can look up "strength training" under the cardio section and it will give you some calories.
