Hey all,
This may seem like a dumb question but do u burn calories when strength training. I lift 3-4 times a week and I used to log it but mfp never gave a value for weightlifting. So I stopped logging it.
I do triceps and chest, lats and biceps, and legs with shoulders.
I reached my goal of 155, but I'm still losing despite eating all my calories and often times going over. I limit cardio to 10 minutes on the stair master and log it as 20 minutes but I'm still losing!! I'm 5'6 btw.
Ne help would be greatly appreciated
