1 bowl (250g meat in broth) has about 240 calories.
Why estimates miss: Steamed Mussels is a multi-ingredient dish. Most bowls are served in the shell, so the edible meat weight is far lower. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
