How do you guys calculate chicken after you marinate it? I have read that some people just add 50 cals....but that can backfire i feel depending on what marinade you do. I would really like to marinate some chicken this week!!

    Create a recipe. Weigh out all the chicken you'll be cooking (probably using the USDA entry for raw chicken), weigh out how much marinade you use (if it's packaged, weigh out the entire package, dispense however much you'll use, and then weigh the package again. Subtract the final weight from the initial weight to get the amount of marinade used), cook the chicken, and then weigh all the chicken once it's done cooking. You can then set the number of servings to the weight of the recipe in grams, or if you want something less precise you could have one serving be "one breast".
