How does one calculate Carbs/Calories/Fat of Marinade when grilling?
I often throw about 10 chicken breasts in a ziploc bag and make a homemade marinade of Light Zesty Italian Dressing, Cayenne pepper, ground black pepper, crushed red pepper, Red Tobasco and Green tobasco. I love it and can eat it for every meal which is nice (I am a simpleton).
I am left wondering how to calculate calories/carbs/fat from the marinade itself. I always just throw the whole bottle of dressing in the marinade and the chicken soaks in the mixture for a day. I don't re-apply marinade really once the chicken is on the grill so when done, the Ziploc is still full of the marinade. Should I not count any carbs, fat, etc. from dressing? Does it "burn off"? |

Do that a couple of three times, and you'll have the data needed to create a custom 'Marinated Chicken breast' to FitDay. |
Sure, but a ton drips off in grill and some certainly burns off.

Really, how much drips off? Guessimate it. A tablespoon? a couple of teaspoons? Subtract those. The oil in the dressing keeps the meat moist, that counts. (Google 'oil smoke point') The charring part of 'burn-off' is sugars (carbohydrates) caramelizing. That counts, too. The smoke part of the 'burn-off' is water turning into steam, ignore it. No calories, no nutrients, and besides, you're not consuming it. |
