When I input strength training into the exercise field it doesn't give me any calories off my daily total. Why is that?

    Too many variables to accurately determine. If you're looking for a broad calorie guesstimate enter strength training under cardio

    when entering a strength training session do you have to add every machine you use? i can't find any in the data base. ie. chest press? seems like it would be in the data base. am i doing something wrong? thanks for any help.

    Because you are entering it in the wrong part of the diary.
    The strength part is just a diary, no calorie functionality.

    Enter under Cardiovascular section - search for "strength training" and you will get a very rough calorie estimate based on your weight, METS and duration.
