Thoughts on frozen, but cooked meat from companies like Tyson?

I've been using Tyson's fully cooked grilled chicken breast and it tastes really good. I was just curious about how accurate the nutrition label can be? It's only 90 calories for 3oz compared to 130 calories for 4oz of raw chicken breast with only 1 or 2 difference in protein. Obviously, there are more unnecessary ingredients in the pre-cooked to keep it preserved, but I was just concerned about accuracy of the label since it seems like so little calories for the protein.

Thankfully these aren't too salty in taste. More so than fresh chicken, but these are pretty good. I hate foods that taste too salty.
With chicken, it all depends on if they are breaded, which will increase the carbs -- some have more carbs than protein. But calories also depend on how much fat they have.
Most precooked chicken is way too high in carbs and calories. But those Tyson grilled chicken strips and nuggets have very good stats. I've eaten 8 gazillions of those.
