Is there any way to track weight lifting calories burned?

A lady friend and I used to use another site called Calorie Count.com. I like myfitnesspal better, but one thing that site had that this one doesn't is you could track calories burned from weight lifting. I like however that on this site you can bar-code foods which makes tracking foods so much more easier and accurate. Is there any way to track weight lifting calories burned on this site I maybe overlooking?

If you go under cardio exercises, weight lifting will be there, but the calories it'll give you are not going to be very reliable.

Add "Strength training (weight lifting, weight training)" to Cardiovascular to get estimated Calories Burned added to your Diary. Please note that the Calories burned for Cardiovascular exercises provided by MFP are based on published metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs), which are estimates for a general population and may differ for you as an individual. If desired, add individual strength training exercises, such as "Biceps Curl," to Strength Training to have a log of sets, reps, and weights as individual exercises.

Please see these articles in the list of articles on this topic in the MFP Help pages...
