Is there anyone to work out exercise (calories burned) on strength?

I wondered the same thing. I worry about getting my cardio and skip weights. I know that I need both.

I take it you're asking if there is anyway to add/edit calories burned from strength training exercises that you add to your "dairy?"

No offense, but your OP kind of sucks if this is what you are trying to ask..

Hello All ,

I started doing 5x5 strength workout around 3 weeks ago, and i'm adding the strength exercises, sets, reps and weight to MFP.

But MFP does not give you any exercise for these activities, so I was wondering if there was anyway to get an estimate of the kind of thing these exercises are doing?

Thanks for any help.

MFP only gives you calories burned for cardiovascular exercise. There's really no way to estimate calories burned for strength training, since a HRM cannot accurately track you while you are lifting/doing strength training. You need steady cardio for that.

Most of my friends log it at 1 calorie per workout, just so they can keep track of their weekly workouts.

I do 5x5 and log about 150 calories per workout (at 6' M 222lbs)

In reality, if you are going to strength train, you really have to be diligent in tracking what you eat and your workouts just to get an estimate of what you are burning while lifting. Or....do as the others have stated. Do your workout log 1 calorie (or even what MFP gives you for strength training in the cardio section) and move on. I just input the time I worked out and MFP gives me 178 or something like that for an hour I think. I don't eat them back anyway so it is of zero importance on the number it gives me.

ETA: Inevitably, someone will come into this thread and tell you to use an HRM or that they use an HRM while strength training to determine their calorie burn. Just know moving forward that those people are wrong as an HRM is not designed for calorie burn estimates during strength training.
