    I use this formula for calculating my strength-training calories.

    If I use this method then I'm the same as my HRM depending on what my daily weight is. Oh and I eat TDEE -15% but I still like to see what my burn is.

    Thanks again for all of the responses. I burned a little more on day 2 but overall have a better understanding of what I should be burning during weightlifting.

    Day 2 was yesterday and I thought I'd run 5 miles today. 3 was all I could manage between the soreness and the heat which will likely be the case until I get more used to the heavy lifting.
