Strength training calories?

Does MFP take in consideration the calories burned while lifting weights? Is the log for strength training just to keep track of what was done or is it for calculating the calories too?
Thanks!
Thanks!

From what I have seen it does not put calories in the equation. So I personally use it as a log. A slow 10 minute walk is around 15-25 calories I think, but since you can never be completely accurate on those things... I generally don't put calories lost into play to help prevent me from cheating or miscalculating, putting kinks in the diet.0
