How do you log your weight lifting? I mean, I know you put under cardio, weight lifting, but how much time do you put? My workout start to finish is around 1 hour 20min. Obviously a lot of that is spent just standing still in between lifts. So I always log it as 45min. That says I burn 200 calories. Does that sound right? I'm 5'2" and 199lbs.

    Could be right! But no one really knows from what I understand. I don't log mine at all because I'm probably burning very little anyway. I take pretty long rests between sets. I just figure if I am burning a small number of calories it can offset any sloppy food logging that might occur.
