1 cup (240 g) has about 180 calories.
Why estimates miss: Lentil Soup is a multi-ingredient dish. A thick, stew-style ladle packs more lentils and higher calories per cup. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.

Based on the Atwater factors: 4 calories per gram of protein and carbohydrate, and 9 calories per gram of fat.
