calories burned with weight training

Today was the first day I used the weight training to log in exercises and it didn't give me any calories burned. Now granted it was very nominal what I did. So when I increase it more and more, will it give me calories burned?? Thanks

If you need a calorie burn you go
exercise > CARDIO > add exercise > search "strength training"
if it asks for the duration / how long you did it you'll get a calorie burn estimate

use exercise > strength in order to track progress via weight /sets / reps over time
