Hey Been a few years since I used MFP but I just started back again today.

I am good with logging foods, but what about weight training.?
I remember back in the day I was able to just add 45min or 60 min of high intensity strength training. I cant find that now. All I can find is individual exercises and when I put a few in there it didnt change my over all calorie count

Any help please?

thanks

    It's under Cardiovascular under Strength Training.

    yes i know i see that but I can only pick individual exercises like incline bench etc and how many sets and reps. I want to just pick 60 min of high intensity strength training and it add those calories into my daily count.

    ahhhh I dont like this.. they changed it. I add in 13 sets of bench press and 8 sets of triceps at 10 reps each set and my calorie count does not change. What?! Im still in a surplus of -32 calories for the day. Why wont my exercise reflect that and make it go back to a green deficit of about 2-300?

    Ya I can get to that page and I put in 60 min but all I can see is how many calories I burned. I dont have the 'add exercise' green button underneath like your post shows. hmm

    sorry nevermind. found it. Under cardio :)

    So cool. On my first day back I got to -5 calories for the day after exercise :)

    only problem was my macro ratios were a little off... oh well

    thanks
