1 cup (~210 g) has about 235 calories.
Why estimates miss: Mashed Potatoes is a multi-ingredient dish. Butter and cream are the difference between 150 and 350 calories per cup. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
