Why is it that you can input calories for cardio but you cant for strength training?

    Not sure on that, I just started logging calories from strength training today - I just add it as cardiovascular, I searched for it, input my time -- it gave me 310 calories for 75 minutes, which is cool, I'd kind of rather underestimate it myself (I feel like with the exertion level I was very likely higher than that).

    Agree it's silly I log my reps in the strength section and my calories in the cardio section.
    Definitely a system flaw!
