How do you put in your calories burnt when finished with your work outs? I can see that i burnt about 299 calories in after doing chest and back and Ab ripper x, but when i logged it in i put it under strength which of course isnt something that takes away calories away on MFP. so what do you do/ done?

    I go to "Add exercise" and write the exercise I did and the calories I burned.

    I just list it as cardio. The heart rate monitor only measures calories used by the heart. So, even if it was a strength training exercise, the results of the cardio aspect of it is all you see showing up on the heart rate monitor.

    Just think of any energy used by your muscles as a bonus, but resign yourself to the fact that you can't really ever know that number.
