Calculating nutritionals when you don't consume the "sauce"

I made an amazing pork roast in the slow cooker tonight for dinner. Well it was pulled pork. It was a 3 ingredient meal and so easy. 12 oz of Root beer (I did diet from the Soda Stream), 1 bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce and 2# of pork (Tenderloin or roast, which we did). So when I went to shred it, I had well over 30 oz of liquid sauce... we didn't eat nearly 1/4 of it. I even thickened it up with a cornstarch slurry, which helped make it stick to the bun. Problem is, when I do the calculation, I don't know how to make it so I track accurately.

There's 40 oz of liquid, probably had 1 to 1.5 C of liquid in the bowl of meat. Do I just figure the meat separately and then the sauce, as if it were on the side? Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
