Strength training and calories on this site?

I did a few sets of various free weights today, and added them to my exercise diary. I was wondering if anyone can answer why it doesn't track calories burned doing strength training exercises?
For example, I did 3 sets, 10 reps, of bench press today. It shows how much I did but doesn't show how much calories were burned like it does the cardio.
Is there something I'm overlooking?

Put in "strength training" under cardio and it will give you the calories burned0

As far as I can tell, when you enter any kind of strength training it doesn't display it under calories burned. However you can enter the same exercise (lifting weights) under the cardiovascular section and it will.0
