Are the Calories in Food Wrong?

Calories are rounded on food labels, so when you multiply the grams of protein, carbohydrate or fat, you may come out with a different value than appears on the label. Foods that contain 50 calories or fewer are rounded to the nearest 5 calorie increment; foods with more than 50 calories are rounded to the nearest 10 calorie increment. And foods that have fewer than 5 calories can be listed as having 0 calories.

Although it may seem that this rounding could be misleading or inaccurate, keep in mind that a 10 calorie difference is actually negligible in the grand scheme if things.
