If you are marinating the meat and then blotting before cooking it seems like the calories would be negligible. How do you track it??

    I add whatever I've used whether it's soy sauce, marinade and the amount. It ALL adds up. That's how we all got here in the first place..... right? :ohwell:

    What kind of marinade are you using? You really shouldn't need to blot it first. Most of the marinades I make are very few calories even if I count the entire volume of the marinade vs. what is actually absorbed by the meat.

    I count all the calories even if not absorbed, I'd rather be high than low. I do the same things when I add oil to my fry pan, I count all of it and really it would be too difficult to try and measure what was absorbed and what wasn't.
