How Do You Record Calories Burned During Strength Training In Mfp?

I am doing cardio 5-6 days a week and strength traing on the weight machines at a local gym. MFP will let me add the exercise, sets, repetitions and weights lifted, but does not show calories burned. How can I add this into my MFP?

  • You're welcome, but I learned that information right here on VST!

  • Go into Cardio and add "Strength Training" (it's already there) and the number of minutes you performed the strength training. It will add calories for the category.

Wow! Thanks Lissa!! I've been using MFP for a long time & never knew there was a "strength training" thing in the Cardio section! I just wore my BodyMedia armband to find out what I burned & then added it in MFP as "walking" and updated the calories accordingly. Now I can actually enter it as strength training!! I know I wasn't the original poster, but thanks a ton!!

Thanks Lissa. This will be a big help as it appears I am doing very little otherwise.
