Lumpia numbers?

My mom and I went to a lumpia-making party last night. We brought them home and cooked them for dinner, and I counted them according to the values in the food database (110 calories/2 lumpia). Ours were made with Lean beef and ground turkey instead of the regular beef and pork, but it's always better to give leeway on the calories.
Then this morning my mom went out and bought some egg roll wrappers so that we could try making some banana turnovers that one of the ladies recommended. When I went to count them, the wrappers by themselves were 60 calories each. (Egg roll wrappers are smaller than lumpia wrappers.)
Does anyone know what the correct nutrition for lumpia is? The ones I made had about a Tbsp of stuffing. The ones my mom made had about twice as much. We've got a lot left in the freezer waiting to get cooked, so I just need an accurate guess.
Thanks!

    Lumpia wrappers are different than egg roll wrappers they are thinner. The lumpia wrappers are about 20 calories.

    So is 55 calories each anywhere close? I know that everyone makes them differently, but I'm just going for a best guess.

    I have no idea... you may have to tally up everything
    by creating a recipe here for yourself.
    Not to mention people may not make it the same way you do.

    I haven't made lumpia in ages!!!! Love the stuff!!

    The biggest problem with figuring out the numbers in a recipe: How do you figure out the calories from the oil?

    You fry it in oil, but you don't consume all the oil in the pan. The rest of the ingredients I can figure out, but this one has me stumped.
