I'm tracking my exercise on MFP but it doesn't seem to recognize that resistance workouts burn calories. If I put in things like squats, chest press etc it doesn't give a calorie amount. I've tried using calenthetics but their moderate example seems to low and their intense example seems too high.
I don't have a sports watch to track my calories burnt during a workout so wondered if anyone else has an idea?
I'm a mid 30's woman in the over weight category. I'd hazard a guess that doing a 30 min high resistance workout without cardio burns approx 200 - 250 calories - not as much as full on circuits or cardio but certainly more than pilates as an example.
