I'm sure store-bought is made with lots of oil. When I make it at home it's mostly chickpeas with a little tahini, usually about 1tbsp per carton of beans.
If I'm eating it with carrots I'll get about eight servings from a bowl. So say 100g carrots is 40kcal, plus 240/8, equals 70kcal.
Right enough it about doubles the calories from the carrot, but it is a _lot_ tastier, and 70kcal isn't going to break your budget too hard if you're being careful generally.

Tahini = ~90kcal / tbsp Chickpeas = ~150kcal / carton
= 240kcal / bowl of homemade hummous
