How do I count calories in Marinade?


Quote  |  Reply

I've been using the recipe function of the site to determine a lot of the calories and nutritional value of foods I make and eat often - However, I'm not sure how to account for marinades when grilling chicken or beef - I would think that they'd be negligible, but I'm just not sure -


Does anyone have advice on this?

calories are prob negligable  but you may want to  worry about the sodium. That said i ussually just add a serving of the marinade to my log

Also, if the marinade has oil or other fat in it, that will be more calories.  Fat calories really add up fast.  I do the same as morbius and add one serving to my log.
