Negative quantities

I wish there was a way to log negative quantities for foods.
For instance, you buy a meal with a predefined-in-MFP nutritional value, but you don't eat a part of it. Like you buy a burger, but you don't eat the bun. You know how much the bun is worth, so it would be swell to say, I had a 1 burger, but I had -1 bun.
Having to break out an A&W Mozza burger to its component atoms and entering it as discrete patties, slice of mozzarella, some unknown mg of Thousand Island dressing, a few strips of bacon, just to *omit* the buns, well, isn't going to happen.
Or you are cooking up some lean ground turkey with a nutrition label, but you drain out 50mg of fat on top of that. I'd love to log negative fat besides the easy nutrition label numbers.
