Hi There!

I'm wondering how to account for Calories when doing strength training? If I work out for 45 mins doing strength work I don't know how to log it so I can see the calories burned? Any help would be most appreciated:smile:

    Log it in under Cardio. There is a cardio exercise titled: "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)".

    Put in the length of time and MFP then spits out the calorie estimate. Just beware that it is an estimate, however.
