Calorie counting

Maybe I'm OCD, but I toyed with the idea of calorie counting recently, and have rejected it. How do you calorie counters do it?? How do you guage with any kind of accuracy how much chicken fat went into the gravy you make to put on your easter turkey? How do you add up all the calories of the ingredients to make muffins, then divide by however many muffins you made (and even assume the muffins are all the same size...) and all the weighing of things like bananas and strawberries and meat to try and get an idea? Don't even get me started on the discrepancy between machine calorie counters, websites, and the fact that I know the intensity of my workout varies, so I know I can't have burned X calories in an hour as it says I did cuz my output wasn't consistent...

So is it just that I'm OCD, or how have you made it work?
