Weight-Loss Marinade question

[jlorenzo]

Its nice weather here and I wanted to throw some chicken breasts on the grill. I just started calorie counting the beginning of this week and so far so good. How do I count calories for ingredients used in a marinade? TIA

Depends if you made it yourself. If you didn't, the marinade will have a calorie amount on the bottle. Now, of course, it would be all of that. It will be a fraction of it. If you shook the marinade off before grilling, it's a small amount. Chances are the calorie amount is almost null (estimating is perfectly fine in this case)
