No idea. Does 100 calories mean per set, per minute, per hour, per workout, etc?

Sure, you can burn however many calories you want weight training, but past a certain point it will become counterproductive as youll have to increase intensity and/or volume in a situation (situation meaning a calorie-resticted diet) where ideally you want to decrease intensity and/or volume.
