question about diary

When inputting strength exercises in my diary I noticed it doesn't show any calories burned. Surely I am burning calories so how do I include it?

    Look for it in the cardiovascular section.

    The strength training section more for keeping track not calories

    You can - log it as Cardio under Strength Training - it's in the database. Logging it under the cardio section will give you a calorie burn.
