Default Calories in Szechuan Broccoli? Especially wondering about the sauce!

I'm going out to lunch with my Mom today. It's to Chinese food of all things. I really like Szechuan Broccoli and assume a vegetarian dish "might" be the best choice. I've never made this, don't know what the sauce is made of. I'm somewhat new to counting calories. Does anyone know roughly how many calories are in 1 cup of this dish? There's about 3-4 cups of broccoli on the plate when you are served. I know the sauce is where the bulk of the calories will come from, just don't know how to figure it. TIA!

I went to calorieking.com and looked up Szechuan. The closest I could come is to find Szechuan sauce.

One serving (1.1 oz.) is 42 calories, 1.8 grams of fat.

So, I guess it all depends on how much sauce you have.

I forgot to say thanks Kimberly! It was so yummy. I little hard to communicate with the waitress to ask the cook "exactly how much sauce was on the dish". I got "probably about 3 spoonfuls"...??? He-he!

You're welcome! My favorite Chinese dish is the chicken and broccoli. I prefer to go to the buffet because I'd rather have WAY more of the broccoli than the chicken.
