Recipe Analyzer and Marinades
Hey guys, those of you who marinate things, like meat, and then discard the marinade, how do you figure out how to log that?

How do you guys who log calories as accurately as you can approximate this so you aren't radically over or underlogging your calories?
Thanks for the assistance!
