MFP does not count strength training as calories burned?

Because it's hard to tell just how much you'll have burned based on reps. Some people burn more, some less, depends on your abilities.
You can log it under cardio (look for circuit training or calisthenics or weights and you'll probably find something appropriate) but mind that without a HRM the calories counted may not be accurate for what you actually burned.0 -
if you use a HRM you can add it yourself. i do, and let me tell you depending on what order i do it, how much of a hard session of cardio i've done before (or not at all) and what area i'm training, it varies from almost nothing to pretty high....0

I know it's hard to calculate calories for these type of exercises but they should count for some calories lost instead of none, that's just ridiculous!0
