To what degree can I trust fast food nutrition facts?

I know it really depends on a meal by meal basis and it's supposed to represent an average, but I was trying to justify eating something at Wendy's today and I saw that a Jr. Cheeseburger deluxe is supposed to be 350 calories. Now I'm not a nutritionist but when I make an egg sandwich for myself I'll say the bread is two 130 calorie slices, a 70 calorie slice of cheese, two 100 calorie eggs, and 50 calories of mayo. That may be a liberal or conservative guess but to me it seems like a cheeseburger with the works would not be over 200 calories less than an egg sandwich, despite how bad for you an egg sandwich may be.

tl;dr can I really trust what the fast food places say, and to what amount should I assume they're fudging the numbers?
