Calories burned while strength training

So why does MFP track calories burned while doing cardio exercises and nothing for strength training? It seems that going through a circuit of machines or free weights burns quite a few calories. Thoughts?

    For sure it does - I have a Polar Heart Monitor and I wear it during strength training - however I do low weight with high reps. I burn between 300 - 400 in an hour
