I am cooking a 4oz piece of Halibut--pan searing in butter and olive oil. Also, the fish marinated in the orange and lemon juice and a little olive oil, salt and pepper.
Thoughts?

    Well, olive oil is 120 calories per tbsp. Just add up what all you put in it.

    Since you're cooking at home, I would just log everything individually (fish, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, orange juice). Even if you have to go back and guess at amounts, it will be way more accurate than us guessing.

    My thoughts in no particular order

    Why is somebody asking for thoughts on a fish dish?

    Did you weigh everything in your recipe and log it accurately, double checking because that's all that counts

    Sounds delicious

    So any recipe / food will help towards any weight goal as long as you hit your calorie goal and nutrient goals over time

    I was asking because when a fish is marinating in citrus and olive oil I am actually not ingesting all of the juice and olive oil. I should have been clearer with my question-- how does one account for calories in marinades?

    I would try measuring the marinade before placing the fish in and again after taking the fish out. The difference is what has been absorbed by the fish.

    ^^^This. I actually often add a thickener (such as corn starch) and just make the marinade into a sauce, depending on what the marinade is. But that's not what you're asking, so go with Sloth's method.
