I don't know how to input my calories burned from exercise? I wear a heart monitor and it tells me how many i burned. It would be nice to just put that number in. Any ideas?

    I would make up a new type of workout and then enter a 1 to 1 for you have the control of the calories that you burned.

    Just go under the exercise tab and create an exercise and input your numbers. Super easy.

    if your workout was something common (running, bicycling, swimming, etc) then it should already be in the database. Just click the exercise tab, look it up, enter the minutes, and adjust the calories according to what your HRM said. Don't be surprised if MFP gives you more calories than what your HRM says. MFP tends to be a little generous in that department. Trust your HRM!

    I'm with ya on the easy out...so I increase the "minutes" for a particular exercise until the cal/burned match my calculations...

    Let me know if you figure something esle that works better...
