How do you count this?

How do you count chicken broth used to cook green beans?
I drain a can of French Green Beans and put them in a pot and fill half and half with water and low sodium chicken broth for flavor.
But we obviously don't consume all that chicken broth. It's mostly strained out.

So how do you count it? What amount gets into the food we actually consume?

Just like cooking with oil in a pan. I put 1TBS oil in the pan but most of it is still in the pan when I finish cooking with it.
How do you count this?

With the broth, you could say trying pouring out the excess broth that you didn't use into a jug and measure how much is left I guess.

With the oil, I have no idea to be honest how you could measure it. I use spray oil, I haven't used any other oil for almost a year now.

Unless you're worried about every last calorie I wouldn't even bother. If you look at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's accuracy testing criteria the acceptable range is + or - 20% of the value declared on the label for calories (I suspect US standards are very similar), the small amount of broth or oil absorbed during cooking isn't worth measuring.
