How do you accurately enter in marinades?

I have been been grilling alot of chicken which is usually marinated in dressing or my own concoction of such. I want to be as accurate as possible but the meat doesnt absorb ALL of the marinade... then some of it burns off.
Example, tonight I used 1/8 C of Yasou Greek dressing, 1 Tblsp light mayo, garlic & fresh parsley for about 8 oz of chicken tenders. I plan on eating prob 2-3 oz of the chicken for lunch tomorrow. How the heck do I enter this?

    When I do something like this I enter it in as a recipe. The whole thing...the chicken and everything. I know you don't end up eating ALL the marinade, but in my mind, it's better to over estimate than under!

    I have been wondering the same thing. I agree over estimating is best but maybe make a recipe with 1/2 of the actual ingredients.
