Strength training doesn't add more to my calories burned?

WHY! I had an AMAZING workout tonight. Included at the end some weighted squats to shoulder press, walking lunges, planks, etc. I know I burned calories because they were hard and I was sweating. How come when I add things like squats (I put in the repetitions and weights and sets) it doesn't give me any calories burned?

It's close to impossible to calculate calories burned by strength training without a lot of accurate counters and calculations. A lot of people just guess or take numbers from other sites and feed them in.0
