How many calories...?

We went to Hardee's today (horrible, I know). I got 5-piece hand breaded chicken tenders and medium curly fries. I had no drink, sauce or anything else. I are half for lunch and I planned on eating the other for dinner.
Myfitnesspal and the Hardee's website say there are about 910 calories in the whole meal (fits into my goal).
However, calorie lab says it's about 1,040 (which does not fit).
Which one's right?

    What is calorie lab? I generally go by the website.

    I would personally go by what their website says. Calorielab is just a database, which could have been updated a while ago. Generally websites change their nutritional information as different ingredients change in their menu items, making them more current and reliable :) I frequently notice calories changing on menu items I love on restaurant websites (big mac somehow lost 30 calories, and chick-fil-a's new cool wrap got more calories but less sodium with their new chicken, for example).

    I'd go by the website, but it's only 130 cal difference either way. What are you going to do, un-eat lunch? :laugh:
