Default Trader Joes- Trader Ming

Alright chicks,
So while browsing Trader Joe's frozen section, I always find new things to try. This particular day I was craving bad fatty foods so I was looking for a low-cal (and not horrible) alternative. I found "Trader Ming" brand vegetable egg rolls that looked delicious, so I bought 'em.
My confusion is, the package says they are 110 calories each, which I have trouble believing because as far as my knowledge takes me, egg rolls are high cal items, and this stir fried frozen version should be no exception.

Here are the stats:

Size: 1 egg roll (85 g)
Calories: 110
Total fat: 4 g
Sodium 370 mg
Total carb: 16 g
Fiber: 2 g
Protein: 5 g

This blog happens to have a picture of one as well:

What are your thoughts? Are these delightful bundles of goodness really 110 calories each?

I think as long as you bake them - the calorie count should be right. The amount of oil might not be that much if they are done right. And the filling is probably pretty low cal.

I lived on veggie egg rolls from super walmart during college and the calorie count for them was similar to what you posted, so it's probably right.
