Burning calories while doing weights?

Do you burn calories while doing weights / strength training?
Cause when I log my strength training it doesn't count as any calories lost, but some times I can work up a sweat while doing weights.

There are conflicting trains of thought on this, but my belief is that the calorie burn from heavy lifting is small, much lower than from cardio work. So if your primary goal is to burn cals, then I'd suggest cardio over weight training.
