So I'm making this tequila lime chicken....

It marinades in tequila, olive oil, cilantro, and jalepenos..


How do I count the calories for the marinade? I know the meat soaks up SOME of those ingredients...but not all of them...how do I count it?

    Weigh the marinade before and after marinading to see how much was absorbed by the chicken.

    I would just calculate the total amount of calories in the marinade and then add that to your entire dish divided by the number of servings. I tend to over-estimate than under tho.
