Tracking weight training

I'm just wondering why when I track the reps and sets of my weight training it doesn't tell me how many calories I've burnt? Surely it burns calories because I sweat?

    Strength training is under cardio. It doesn't actually burn that much though.

    You have to log it under cardio. Lifting doesn't really burn a significant amount of calories, and it also would depend on how you lift...someone doing circuits or a lot of super setting is going to burn more calories than someone doing a strength program and taking a lot of rest.

    Sweating isn't really an indicator of energy expenditure either...
