The New York Times wrote Calorie Counts of Fast Food and Frozen Meals Aren’t Always Accurate "Anyone who counts calories by using the figures on menus in fast-food restaurants or on the packages of frozen meals may want to count again. When researchers tested the food served in 29 chain restaurants and 10 frozen meals sold in supermarkets, they found that their calorie content averaged considerably more than the stated values."
The average was 18% over and the FDA allows a 20% margin of error.
