You know how calorie formulas are based on a week with exercising included. If I only do weight lifting no cardio or anything and for the most part sit around. lol Do I count the weight training into the formula or should I put "desk job little exercise"?

Well depends on how your weightlifting sessions are.

I am kinda impatient and I don't like sitting around a lot. The rest between my sets is usually as little as it has to be for me to pump out the next set. I am usually in a pool of sweat by the end and my heart rate is definitely elevated (if not at the same level as cardio). I would say that an intense workout will definitely burn a lot of calories (not sure how many) and I definitely need to eat a lot more on training days to compensate. I don't need to do that when I do heavy cardio for some reason.

If you want to burn calories out the day without doing anything you must trigger your afterburner.

Yeah I'd agree with AduhAwas.  When I lift, my heart rate goes up to almost equal of cardio.  It just matters how you do your weight lifting.
