I biked then did 20 minutes of moderate weight lifting workout. My calories for the day were only listed as what I used biking. How do I get "credit" for weight training?

Thanks

    Weight lifting is a minimal calorie burn. You lift to increase lean muscle mass which in turn will burn more in your day to day life.

    You can log weight training under cardiovascular and it will give you a slight calorie burn

    Go to cardiovascular and then go to strength training. Be aware though that it is unlikely to be ver accurate though because of all the variables.
