Is it just me or shouldn't strength training also try to factor in some amount of calories burned?

    Under the cardio portion, there is an exercise you can search for called "Strength Training" which will account for those calories.

    The strength training portion is just a nice way to detail what exercise you did/reps/weights

    Nice to know because I was just adding the details but not counting anything for the calories burned doing the strength training.
