Is there a way on MFP that we can track cals burned from strength training? Its frustrating to only be able to record cals burned from cardio.

    If you're using an HRM, then you can log it in under Cardio -- like bigbear mentioned, if you plug in Strength Training, it'll pull up a window that will allow you to log the length of your workout and the calories burned... or you can just add your own workout under cardio and do the same thing...

    He means to search for it in the cardio exercise section as "strength training"

    It was meant as
    Exercise > cardio > add exercise > search strength training plug in your time to get a calorioe burn estimate

    not that literally...
    exercise >cardio
    and under that is
    strength training
    that part IS where you track reps, sets and weight progress over time.
