It's widely accepted in the scientific community (but not the weight loss community) that nutrition facts are extremely inaccurate. Cooking (and heating, in general) foods breaks down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, which in turn makes it much easier and efficient for your body to and derive energy from. That's why cooked food is more appetizing.
Measuring calories is done by estimating the amount of raw fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the final product, then using pre-measured statistics to estimate the calorie count. When you consider how much heating and processing is involved in the path to the final product, it's obvious that calories are often severely understated on labels.
This is why you are plateauing.
