So I calculated this to be 560 calories. Thoughts? The contents weighed 268g.
There’s mayo, Parmesan cheese, corn, chamoy (I think) and I’m guessing there’s butter in it too since a lot of places like to use butter in their corn. I’m still pretty new at calculating calories in food from restaurants that don’t have a nutrition menu so help me out please. Here are my guesses: 10g of butter in it??? 210g of corn? Maybe 25g of Parmesan cheese & 30g of regular mayo.

I think you did a great job estimating. I use caloriefriend.com to get calories per gram for various foods, and your numbers seem to add up. Weighing the food and being precise like this is the right way to go about it. Even if you’re off it will probably only be like 20% instead of 200%.
sadly 500-600 is spot on. i actually posted elote last night lol i wanted a healthy snack but los eloteros always it up with mayo and queso and cream 😫 im gonna start making my at homebwith light cream because the calories seriously add up with the sauces and cheese
