Marinades

What is a good way to figure the real amount of calories/fat/sugar, sodium, etc that you are using for marinades for meat? I have a great recipe for honey/soy chicken breast and have put all of the ingredients in the recipe calculator, so I have those amounts. But you dump a lot off after it is done marinating, so the figures cannot be right using the total amounts. Anyone have a good formula here? Thank you!

    Could you measure the liquid total before you pour it on and measure again what you dump out? The difference would be close to what is used.
