Calories Burned Suggestion
I'm glad that the calories eaten and calories burned is added to the site. However, is it possible to add the option to input the calories burned? I use a heart rate monitor to obtain the most realistic count of the calories burned evertime I work out. There is a large discrepancy between the calories burned on the site against my heart rate monitor.
Thanks

I second this
This would be a great addition. I would bet there are many more of us out there using heart rate monitors. In fact, it would be nice to input the stats gathered by our monitors in the workout log. To begin with, it would be great if we could input things like max HR, average HR, time spent in a particular zone, etc...
Great site!

calories burned info
this is just the first step. we are discussing changing the workout tracker display to present calories burned data for each cardio exercise and for strength exercises at a whole. part of that change would involve allowing users to enter HR data/modify the calories burned data (we would seek to modify the data for the user based on the entered info but also allow the user to change things manually). we are also planning to change the the intensity value to something more simple (for users who don't have HR data) and add a column for entry of actual HR data (as mentioned).
however, this work is slotted after adding search to the add exercise function (to make it like the diet side, at least in the short term). we feel that the exercise interface is the priority at this point. but cals burned tracker display changes are very important and high on our list.
