I ate one of the spring rolls, (just had what seemed to be ginger, cabbage, carrots, lettuce and a TINY bit of chicken in it) and about half of the veggies and tofu (put prob 70g of brown rice on it)
Sauce was described as a light brown sauce, and the veggies were snap peas, ginger, bell peppers, and onions.
The sauce on the side of the spring rolls I barely touched.
Thanks!!!

hi preference ! 🤟🏽
im no culinary genius by any means but i believe this would be comparable to *moo goo gai* which incorporates lean proteins and veggies like snow peas, carrots, water chestnuts ect…all stir fried together in a thin/light brown sauce.
our best bet here is to run with a [USDA reference](https://fdc.nal.usda.gov/food-details/2706795/nutrients) that suggests ≈185 calories per cup however id round to ≈200 for safe keeps.
i would say that minus the rice portion you have ≈3 cups or ≈600 calories respectively and accounting for ≈1/2 cup or what i would estimate is ≈80-90g of brown rice that would bring your 600 value closer to ≈***700-725 calories.***
considering the ingredients in your spring rolls i wouldn’t budget more than ≈***75 calories per*** considering you didnt really touch the sauce.
all in all for this ENTIRE entree portion and a single spring roll id sit us at ≈***775-800 calories***.
seems light, but stir fry dishes as such are known to be super solid choices when eating out at thai restaurants when youre trying to watch the calorie budget.
