There is no set number of calories per sit-up. The number of calories used per sit-up depends on a large multitude of things. How much mass are you trying to move? How quickly are you trying to move it? What kind of resistance are you moving through? What is the exact number of muscle fibers that contract in your particular body when you do a sit-up? Do you use the exact same number of muscle fibers the same exact way for each sit-up? How efficiently do your muscles work? Do you work any muscles on your way back down? The number of calories burned per sit-up is probably never actually known. It would be slightly different for each and every sit-up even in the same person. If there is a figure out there in cyberspace, it is guaranteed to be an estimate, and it is nearly guaranteed to be a useless figure in actuality.
Burning calories is all about getting your heart rate up a bit, and keeping it up. So unless you plan on doing situps for half an hour or more you simply won't burn a significant amount of calories that way.
