Burning calories during weight training

foxggren · April 2012

I'm sure this question has been asked 1000x before here... but I don't see it in any of the recent posts, so,

In my exercise diary, weight training doesn't add up to any calories, but surely it burns them!

How do you guys/do you guys account for calories burned that aren't during cardiovascular exercising? Should I be adding this to my diary? What is a safe bet to say? I usually do 30mins of cardio at the gym, then a bit of stretching for 10-15 mins and then about 30-40 mins of weight training.

Strength training is under cardiovascular.

I enter strength training under cardio, it is a rough guesstimate they say.

If you search under the cardio section you will find calories for strength training. I just add it there and use the strength section to log the specific. A bit counter-intuitive and I have no idea how accurate they are.
