Is the calorie info for Pillsbury's baked goods accurate?

I just ate a cinnamon roll.

OhMsDiva

go by the pillsbury calorie on the can

If you put that squeeze icing on it, it could be different, based on how much icing is on each roll, but it'll be close.

We have to trust the labels. None of them are going to be exact, but they're all close enough to work with.

Thanks, every1.

Define "accurate".

Here in the US, it can be as far as 20% off(FDA rules) and still be legit. 20% in either direction - so it's a 40% possible swing.

Everything we do and log - all food, all exercise burns, *all of it* is an ESTIMATE only.

Take your measurements. Records your data. ADJUST AS NECESSARY.

Rinse.

Repeat.

Don't be, just log it and move on. I had 6 fun size snickers today and I was still within my calorie goal.
It's National Chocolate Day! Have some;-)

Pillsbury is evil and cannot be trusted!

It's no more or less accurate than any other labeled food product. Unless for some reason you think Pillsbury is less trustworthy than any other company, as Sergeant pointed out, you have the same margin of error eating their products as you do any other companies.

Because worry over "a [single] cinnamon roll" (or even the entire tube) is neurotic behavior - normal folks don't do it, right?
