Lifting weights generally burns fewer calories than most forms of cardiovascular exercise. People don't lift for the calories, they lift to preserve muscle whole they lose weight, or to build muscle.

Weight training can feel very intense, but it's not really because of how many calories we burn from doing it. The feeling is more strain than burn. Still worth doing, though, since muscle is so useful in daily life.
