Today I did a 30 minute weight lifting workout.   Any ideas how to add that into MFP do I have to add each and every exercise individually?

    If you search in cardiovascular exercise for strength training, you can enter the minutes of that and it will give you an approximate burn. A word of caution though, I always assume that MFP over-estimates calorie burn, so only eat back about 75% of those calories burned :)

    Hope that helps! Have a great day!

    MFP underestimates my calorie burn by quite a lot. I wear a HRM and find the closest category to the type of exercise I'm doing. Then I enter in the number of minutes and the calorie read-out from my HRM. I've read that many HRMs can be off by 10%, so I subtract 10% before entering my number.
