Hey guys!
How do you count the facts for marinades? Like, tonight we're having beer baked pork chops. I know it's not the BEST thing, but you know. ;)
Anywho.... The chops marinated in beer for four hours and are now cooking in beer, also... So, I used three bottles of beer; do i need to calculate the nutri info for three beers??

Thoughts?

Thanks!

*edit: hmm.. I think I dug up an answer.

    If measure what is left after you marinate, you'll have what was absorbed. I'd use that number.

    For example:
    You use 3 12oz beers and have 10 ounces left --> 36 (3x12oz) - 10 remaining = 26 absorbed.

    I've been wondering this also, but always just calculated all the calories in the marinade. Great idea mvl. Love it!
