Roast Chicken Drippings?

I'm roasting a chicken and some vegetables today and obviously some chicken fat/drippings will be getting into my vegetables, which is what I want but I don't know exactly how I should log that? Does anybody else have experience with this? Thank you!

    If you weighed the raw chicken and used data for that, the fat would already have been accounted for (provided a good entry, or label on package, if packaged).

    It's a whole chicken, so I didn't weigh it thinking I would just weigh what I put on my plate so I wouldn't have to worry about the bones.

    I would think that if you enter it as Roast Chicken, it would take into account the drippings

    I did see that you can log chicken fat/drippings, and that's what I'll probably do. I'm thinking a tablespoon would probably be enough since a lot of the renderings will be water and not fat?
