Injera - too good to be true?

After eating out at an Ethiopian restaurant this week and seeing that the generic entries in the database here showed it was all pretty darn healthy, I decided I'd try my hand at making a few dishes for myself this weekend. I went to a local Ethiopian grocery store to pick up a few essentials, including a large pack of injera. Here's the nutrition label:
Can this possibly be true? Nearly half a pound worth of bread, one huge 12 inch piece, is only 49 calories?? Google and the database here yields wildly different calorie counts, which I suppose is only natural, since injera recipes have a wide variety of ratios of teff to wheat to other grains. One entry here has 100 calories for that size, another website has 172. A cup of cooked teff is 252 g and 255 calories.
Has anyone ever looked into this? I may have to make some and calculate this out to see what's up here.
