I added my exercise for the day but its still showing a 0 for exercise near my calorie count. Does anyone know why?

    What did you enter and did you enter it under strength or cardio? Did you accidentallty change the calories to 0 manually? Do you have Premium and if so have you chosen the option to have exercise not add to your goal?

    I don't have premium. Do I need that? I added them as strength, was that wrong? My calorie count is showing fine, I was just referring to my exercise next to the calorie count showing zero.

    Strength exercises don't add calories to your goal. You'll have to add them as cardio to get extra calories.
