Good to know

  • Egg size matters: a medium egg (44 g) has about 63 calories, an extra-large egg (56 g) about 80 and a jumbo egg (63 g) about 90.
  • USDA’s hard-boiled entry is 155 calories per 100 g, or about 78 for a large egg.
  • Frying or scrambling adds the butter or oil you cook with. Log that fat separately.
