    If this program dosen't count srenght training as burning calories it is cheating us big time! Every expert tells you to add strenght training to increase your calorie burn.

    You need to get a HRM to accurately calculate your calorie burn on anything. I think I've read that MFP doesn't give us calories for strength exercises because you burn more after the exercise than during. I'm sure someone will come along with the appropriate answer.

    I wore a HRM and burned 501 calories doing 63 minutes of weights today.

    I have also been wondering the same thing. I have a home gym system and do weights every other day. It would be interesting to know how much i burn doing my strength training
