Ruby on Rails api json response methods and include

Question

I have technical question i have user model which have many questions so in my API controller i do:

render json: user, :include => {
        :questions => {
            :only => [:text]
        },
    }

Now i want to add to JSON response question count. How can i do that in best way. I know that i can create method inside model : count_question and after that do:

render json: user, :include => {
        :questions => {
            :only => [:text]
        },
    }, :methods => [
        :count_question
    ]

and my response will be good. But is there better way to put that information to JSON. I want to avoid add method inside model. Is it possible to determine this count inside json renderer?

Greetings
