You Won’t Believe How Many Calories Are Locked in Your Strip of Flavor When was the last time you stopped to think about the hidden caloric value of the marinade, glaze, or seasoning rubbing into every strip of flavor on your grilled chicken, steak, or savory snack? We’re about to reveal an astonishing truth: you won’t believe how many calories are actually “locked” inside every strip of flavor coating your favorite protein. ### The Hidden Truth About Flavoring Calories Most people focus on calories from the main protein itself—chicken breast, steak, fish, or tofu—but the seasonings, brines, b preserves, and sauces applied during cooking pack in their own calorie density. Whether it’s a sticky honey-garlic glaze, a creamy barbecue rub, or a rich teriyaki marinade, these flavorful layers aren’t calorie-free — and they often contribute more than you realize.
