How do you account for calories in marinades?
When you marinate a piece of meat in a dressing, how do you count the calories? If I put it in 1 tbsp of dressing, and there's still a tablespoon in the baggie when I remove the meat, do I count anything? I just put in a teaspoon assuming there was some impact on the total. Thoughts?

Embarrassing Food
What's that food item that makes you wish your diary was closed? That food that you hate to eat in front of others and pretend you don't? The food you know is disgusting but love to death anyway?

Healthy food expensive
