My mom once made homemade lasagna. I had to put it in and because of all the cheese I knew it would probably have been about 800-1000 calories for the serving I ate. Most of the ones I saw equated my serving size to about 600 calories. I also saw one that was 50 calories for 100g of lasagna. Some fatty must've binged on lasanga and created that one.

My family has a rule. Don't lie...and if you're going to make a mistake, overestimate the calories in.

On a life raft overestimating calories is bad. In the land of "dodging food flying towards your mouth" overestimating is good.

On a life raft your real concern is fresh water, you'll die from dehydration months before you even think about starving to death.

Once I typed "homemade brownies" and the result was "Calories: 100 Size: a piece (how big? Who knows!)"
Knew the fatty right away

It's not that hard to estimate reasonably, and if you're really lost, just go purposefully overboard with your estimate! Every time I cook something in oil, even just pan searing some salmon, I always tack on like 200 extra calories, more if I don't measure the oil exactly.

That's not a bad estimate: sardines in oil are 600 calories, whereas sardines in mustard sauce are only 360 calories.
