weight lifting 0 calories burned?!

swaguilarbro

I guess I'm just going to use this for counting my macros...I have a pretty intense workout I do 6 days a week but I'm clueless as to how many calories I burn doing it so I can't quite figure out how many calories is 500 below my maintenance level...I guess only time will tell. Anyone else get annoyed with any weight training showing up as 0 calories burned?

Are you logging it under the cardio section: Weight training?

Depends on the intensity of your workout.
I workout 40-90 minutes 3 times a week and i just eat my 2000 calories. the workout will be somewhat like 400 calories so i guess im taking about 1600? It's just something you gotta find out yourself.

log lifting under strength training for tracking your reps, etc. but also log it under cardio for tracking calories.

haha THANK YOU GUYS!! I seriously would've never put weight lifting under cardio...I started logging my sets and didn't see any calories burned so I stopped.
