Chinese street food - anyone like to guess calories?

Hi there - I tried to attach a pic but here is a link:

They have these Jianbing street food here in China - basically it's Thin fried egg base, a scatter of scallions, a smudge of rich chilli sauce, lettuce leaf filling and a crunchy centre of crisp fried dough (Baocui, 薄脆). (someone else told me the crisp centre is tofu, but it's still fried)

Obviously the crisp fried dough is an issue, but does anyone want to guess calories? MFP says 4000kj for a serve and I know it's not that much!

Treat the baocui like a fried donut/fritter. Note that some may be tofu, but many are just straight fried dough.

Call the crepe 100 calories, the fritter 250 calories, 1 egg for 70 calories, and another 150 for sauces and miscellaneous fillings. 500-600 calories doesn't seem too out of wack.

Thanks guys - I logged it as 1650kj for the jian bing itself but nearly died when I had to add 880 kj for the fried dough in the middle - what was I thinking??

Lol - will continue to have these but minus the fried dough!

yeah 600 calories - totally not worth it!
