Is there not a way to add strength training and see the calories burned. I do over an hour of weights and my calorie intake stays the same. Any advice?

    Add it under "cardio" search "strength training" and you can add your minutes and it will tell you calories burned and add it to your exercises for the day

    Go into cardio, type in "weight lifting" and it SHOULD calculate. At work, it doesn't work for me, only at home, so try a different computer if it doesn't calculate for you.

    You may want to consider investing in a reliable heart rate monitor. My strength training is usually mixed with my cardio workout so I normally don't enter it alone.

    Thank you so much!! I don't know how I never searched for weight training in the cardio section. I do have a heart monitor so I know i wanted to count my calories. Thanks

    The heart rate monitor was a good suggestion. Does your heart rate monitor estimate how many calories you burn in a workout? If so, just use that and create a custom exercise and enter what you see on your monitor.
