What do you do when the label doesn't add up? What do I mean?

OK, Member's Mark Canned Chicken Breast in Water.

Total Calories: 70
Fat Grams: 1.5
Carbs: 0
Protein: 12

With 1.5 x 9 = 13.5 and 12 x 4 = 48, that only totals 61.5 calories.

So which do you follow? The calories on the container or the calories based upon the breakdown?
