SO is attempting the Atkins again so I have to re-acquaint myself with the rules. Rummaging through the book tells me a lot but I haven't found the answer to the following question.
If you use a high carb food item in a marinade, how much of its carbs do you count in the finished product.
For example, Hoot's grilled shrimp calls for a marinade which includes a cup of beer. It would seem to me that 99% of the beer and its resident carbs remains in the dish when you take the shrimp out of the marinade to grill them.
Does anyone know any different? Is there some magical carb absorption formula that involves the hypotenuse of the shrimp times the square root of the cosine of the beer bottle, or something?
