Calories for Strength Training

How come when I enter strength training, it doesn't calculate calories burned and add them to my "allowance" of calories for the day like the cardiovascular exercise does? Can anyone tell me?

    Enter strength training under cardiovascular exercises.

    Click Exercise -> Database -> and from the "choose an exercise below" dropdown menu, choose Strength Training (Weight Training, Weight Lifting).

    If you've created a profile and have been updating your weight, then all you need to do is add the minutes you spent training and it will create an estimate for you.

    edit: Heh, I see Kristy answered you. I had the question up on my computer but had to step away for a bit. Answered it and submitted without seeing if anyone else had provided an earlier reply.
