Why does strength training not add calories burned on here?

I tried selecting any exercise or machine and it doesn't add any calories burned.

Why don't you calculate calories burned for strength training?
^ MFP's explanation

Basically it's too hard to calculate. There is a "strength training" option under cardio if you want a rough estimate.

Thanks but is there a way to add my own calories burned manually?

I figured it out.... Thank you!!

Cindylynn, I wear a heart rate monitor (strap not the wrist) while I am strength training and it gives a pretty accurate measurement of calories burned during strength.

Actually hrm are not designed for strength training and therefore are inaccurate
