Hi, i go to the gym everyday and log my workouts on MFP but the app isnt counting calories from strength training. I have to log in cardio in order for it to count. An i doing something wrong?

    Nope - you're not doing it wrong.

    Keep in mind calorie burns for strength training are super hard to estimate.

    Log 'strength training' under Cardio and it will give you a few calories. I get about 175 for 45 minutes.+
