Hello - How do I get burnt calories associated with my strength exercises?

I have used a different site for a long time, but have more friends on here and thought that would help with motivation... but still new and trying to figure out a few things... When I plug in cardio... I get an associated # of calories burned... when I plug in sets of push ups, sit ups, leg lifts, squats etc... I get no caloric values for the work out. I have not been bothering to plug in data.... I only do a few sets of this type of stuff every day... but some days I do a ton... so I'd like to see the calorie adjustment for it. Is this possible?

MFP does not calculate calories burned for strength training exercises, see here for reference.

For most of the exercises you noted, I would log them collectively under calisthenics in cardio; just adjust the time value to log an estimate of the total calories you burned. You can get a rough estimate for calories burned for various activities at a specified weight using the CalorieLab website.0 -
Thank you. I thought maybe I was just doing something wrong. I appreciate the help.0
