How to account for marinades that are discarded after marinating

I recently got the nutrition numbers for Cuban Mojo Pork. It called for 3/4 cup of evoo, with approx. 1200 calories. The pork should roast marinades overnight and then the marinade is discarded. When I saw the calories/serving of 616 I thought no way I can eat this, but we don't end up ingesting all of that olive oil, right? A serving of pork shoulder roast comes in at 223 calories, much better. What do you think, maybe add 50 extra calories for the marinade?

Mmmm... Cerdo al mojo Cubano....
Prepare the marinade and weigh it. Marinade the pork as directed. Weigh the leftover marinade and that way you'll know how much stayed with the pork.6 -
I always enter 2-3 tbsp of marinade per chicken breast as an estimate when I'm creating a new recipe. Weighing is probably best, but I opt for the easier route for marinades.0

I just used this exact method for a ribeye steak I marinaded over night last night.
