I have recently incorporated strength training in my workouts.
I was just wondering, do we burn calories while performing strength training? If so, why does MFP not show how many calories we burnt during strength training exercises??
Just a thought.... I would like to know how many calories I burn ... anyone else thinking along the same lines?

    You can pick weight lifting under cardio.

    Take the calories as only an estimate as it depends on how long your rest are, how much you life, how fast, the effort used..etc
