So strength training burns calories right? When I do strength exercises and log them on MFP it never has an amount of calories it burned.

    You have to log "strength training" in the cardio section in order to get the calories...but it doesn't burn as much as you think

    The strength training section is for tracking. If you want a (probably very inaccurate) amount of calories so you can eat them back you can log it under cardio.

    Remember, generally burns are overestimated, so most eat back only a portion.
