    Mfp doesn't calculate cals burned from strength because everyone is different.
    I wear a hrm monitor for all my exercising, but I'm not sure if it'd be accurate for strength training

    I wear an HRM and log my strength workouts under cardio by using the "create exercise" on the My Exercises tab. Then I write what I did in the note section of the Exercise Diary.

    Are you trying to figure out how to log strength training so you can record cals burned, or how to estimate how many cals your burning while strength training?
