Calories burned in strength-building exercises?

Am I overlooking something, or does the site actually not count calories burned doing strengthening exercises? (Just cardio-, in other words, are counted.)

    You get your calories burned, oddly enough, when you go to cardio and enter strength training - it is pretty accurate.

    I have realized this too. I usually just add my "lifting" calories into a cardio total, but I do log the exercises I do. It doesn't give the cals burned because I would bet every person is so different, based on pounds lifted, reps, etc. . which doesn't seem like a good excuse to me! I usually just keep an eye on my heart rate monitor and keep track of those cals in my head and add them in elsewhere, like I said earlier!
