Happy Sunday middle agents! Just wondering why MFP doesn't subtract calories for strength training. I entered all kinds of weight training I did today but it didn't register. Rookie mistake?0

Even though calories burned via strength training isn't very accurate, some calories burned should have been registered by MFP. How did you log your weight training?1 -
Hi! I'm not new to the site, but haven't logged in for awhile. I'm 44, have a very demanding job, and have a hard time finding workout time. I bought a house and tore out the kitchen, and found it's EXTREMELY hard to keep up on things when you don't have a kitchen. But...I set up a great home gym in one of the bedrooms, got a personal trainer friend to give me a workout routine tailored to my equipment, and am ready to get back in the groove!!! Add me to your friend list...let's commiserate together about middle age, and get motivated together!!!2

I love "middle agents"! Ha!
To answer your question, in order to log calories for strength training, you have to search for strength training under the cardiovascular category rather than the strength category. I hope that helps!1 -
Hi everyone! Just started today but have a long way to go. I had lost 85 lbs about 2 years ago and stupidly put it back on. Appreciate have a group I can chat with in my age range. I'm 59 and need to lose so I can ease up on the various parts of me that have arthritis. I am divorced so it's just myself I have to deal with as far as what foods I eat. Look forward to reading everyone's point of view and experiences.3

Thanks for your help! I logged it under strength and searched for the various types of weight training I did. I guess I shouldn't worry too much - the results should show up in the scale and in the mirror eventually!
