Anyone know the real calories for McDonald's hotcakes?

Hey everyone,

Today for breakfast before heading out to a national park, my family and I stopped at McDonalds for breakfast as it was the only place around for miles. I ordered the hotcakes for my meal, but noticed on the menu board they were marked at 610 calories & then I looked online on McDonalds website which proceeded to tell me that the hotcakes were only 320 calories. I don't know which one to rely on more, their website or menu board so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask on the forums here where someone may know what this is about.

Thank you ahead of time for your answers, they are greatly appreciated! :-)

The website may not be accounting for butter or syrup?

The diary entry for McDonalds Hot Cakes with 1 Butter and 1 Maple Syrup is around 570 calories, which is pretty close to the menu board's 610 calories.

Agree. Menu board hotcakes include the butter and syrup. There should have been fine print.
As pictured calorie count.
Nuggets have fine print stating sauces can add 30 to 100 calories. That little container of ranch sauce really contains 100 calories?
