Calculating marinades

I started marinating some chicken for tomorrow (I marinate overnight starting with frozen chicken). The marinade is a quarter cup each of olive oil and vinegar, plus salt, pepper, and garlic. I realized that I have no idea how to track it. I suppose I could measure the marinade after I take the chicken out, and assume the difference between the two measurements was absorbed by the chicken. That seems complicated and not very accurate (considering the chicken will lose fluid as it defrosts). Any tips for adding in the marinade into your totals?

It's not going to be much and make much difference in your macros, so just estimate as best you can.

Love it! Thanks!

Honestly? I've stayed away from any sugar-based marinades and I don't otherwise track them. Because I stayed so low-calorie during loss phase it wasn't a big deal. I also don't track the oils I cook with.

Thanks! With past diets, I was prone to "fudging", so I'm trying to do things right this time. It did seem like a negligible amount, so it's good to know that other people don't bother counting it.

Myfitnesspal says one serving of pre-made marinade is 1 tablespoon. That seems like a reasonable amount to be absorbed into your chicken.

Thanks! That's useful to know.

You're adding all good things. I wouldn't sweat it.
