Calories In Eggs

I have always loved eggs right from childhood and still do. They are quite popular mainly because they easily fit in into our breakfast plans and are fairly easy to prepare.
Beside, they are tasty.

Some people wonder if we need to worry much about the calories in eggs as this is one food item that can be very tempting.

To all egg lovers, you will be glad to know that, this is a food item packed with vitamin B12, riboflavin, selenium, phosphorus and good protein content.

They are also low in sugar content too.

The only thing you need to watch out for is the high level of saturated fat being an animal product and this invariably translates to high cholesterol level.

So, how much calories in eggs?

1 serving of cooked fried whole egg = 46.0 gm

1 cup of cooked hard boiled whole egg chopped = 136.0 gm

1 Large cooked whole omelette = 61.0 gm

Calories in 1 cup of scrambled whole egg = 220.0 gm

1 Large scrambled whole egg = 61.0 gm

1 large cooked poached whole egg = 50.0 gm

1 cup of fresh raw egg yolk = 243.0 gm

1 large fresh raw egg yolk = 17.0 gm

1 cup of fresh raw egg white = 243.0 gm

1 large fresh raw egg white = 33.0 gm

The calories in eggs are pretty low especially if you have just the egg white and even for the whole egg, its only when you have the egg as part of a recipe that the calorie content becomes significant, for instance, when it is scrambled.
