Is there a way to count calories burned by weight lifting?

    Actually, if you look under cardio exercises there's a listing for weight lifting/strength training. I find it to be pretty accurate for me when I'm doing a medium to moderate session (smaller muscle groups but lifting heavy), when compared with my heart rate monitor.

    Yep, that's how I count them.

    I do the strength entry from the add exercise section. I've heard using a HRM to measure calories during weight lifting is very inaccurate, but I'm really not sure. It always seemed to give me more calories than I felt like I would have burned.
