Count Calories from Dredge Breading?

I am making baked chicken tenders. I am using chicken breast tenders dredged through floor then egg bath then Panko bread crumbs. I made an entire 9x13 pan full. Should I bother trying to calculate the Breading or is it so minimal on each piece that it won't matter?

    Personally, I would have used the recipe builder, built the recipe, weighed it after so I knew a total weight, breaded my stuff, weighed the remaining breading and known exactly how much I used, and log that divided evenly over the number of things I was breading.

    Definitely count it.

    An easy way to do it is to measure the ingredients before dredging and then the remaining to see how much you used. Can be done easily with a food scale.

    Yeah, 1/3 of a cup has 100 calories.

    I weigh breadcrumbs by putting them in a container then bread my chicken and weigh it again.
