Calories in eggs by size and cooking method

The number of calories in an egg depends mainly on its size and any ingredients used during cooking. Boiled, soft-boiled and poached eggs generally have similar calorie counts when prepared without added fat. Fried eggs usually contain more calories because of the oil absorbed during cooking.

Method	Small (S)	Medium (M)	Large (L)	XL
Boiled / Soft-boiled	62 kcal	77 kcal	91 kcal	106 kcal
Poached	62 kcal	77 kcal	91 kcal	106 kcal
Scrambled (no added fat)	62 kcal	77 kcal	91 kcal	106 kcal
Fried (little oil)	90 kcal	112 kcal	133 kcal	155 kcal
Fried (more oil)	110 kcal	137 kcal	163 kcal	190 kcal

Values are approximate estimates per egg. The calories in fried eggs depend on the amount of oil used and how much remains on the egg. Scrambled eggs made with milk, butter or other ingredients will also contain additional calories.

Nutritional values of a medium egg

A medium egg provides protein, fat and a small amount of carbohydrates. The egg white is rich in protein relative to its calories, while the yolk contains most of the egg's fat and several vitamins and minerals.

Nutrient	Whole egg	White (~33g)	Yolk (~17g)
Calories	77 kcal	17 kcal	55 kcal
Protein	6.5g	3.6g	2.7g
Fat	5.3g	0.1g	4.5g
Saturated fat	1.6g	0g	1.6g
Carbohydrates	0.6g	0.3g	0.3g
Cholesterol	186 mg	0 mg	186 mg
Vitamin D	1.1 µg	0 µg	1.1 µg
Vitamin B12	0.6 µg	0.1 µg	0.5 µg

Nutritional values are estimates and vary with egg size and preparation. The white and yolk figures may not add up exactly to the whole-egg values because of rounding and differences in the reference portions.

Which cooking method has the fewest calories?

Boiled, soft-boiled and poached eggs are useful options if you want to prepare eggs without adding cooking fat. Scrambled eggs can also have a similar calorie content when made without oil, butter, milk or other calorie-containing ingredients.

Fried eggs tend to contain more calories because of the oil or butter used in the pan. The difference depends on how much fat is added and how much ends up in the finished serving.

If you are counting calories, remember to include any oil, butter, cheese, milk or other ingredients added to your eggs. The cooking method alone does not tell you the exact nutritional value of the finished dish.

How to calculate calories in eggs

To estimate the calories in a serving, choose the approximate value for one egg of your size and cooking method, then multiply it by the number of eggs. Add the calories from oil and other ingredients separately if they are not already included in the estimate.

Total calories = calories per egg × number of eggs + calories from additional ingredients

For example, two medium boiled eggs provide approximately 154 calories using this calculator's estimates. Two medium fried eggs with a little oil provide approximately 224 calories, although the actual total will depend on the amount of oil used.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in a boiled egg?

A medium boiled egg contains approximately 77 calories using this calculator's estimates. A small egg has around 62 calories, while a large egg has around 91 calories. The exact amount depends on the egg's edible weight.

How many calories are in a fried egg?

A medium fried egg may contain around 112 calories when prepared with a little oil, or about 137 calories with a larger amount. These are estimates, since the calories depend on how much cooking fat is used and retained.

How many calories are in 2 eggs?

Two medium boiled eggs contain approximately 154 calories. Two large boiled eggs contain around 182 calories. Fried eggs generally contain more calories because of the added cooking fat.

How many calories are in 3 eggs?

Three medium boiled eggs contain approximately 231 calories. Three large boiled eggs provide around 273 calories. Add any oil, butter or other ingredients used during preparation.

How many calories are in an egg white?

The white of a medium egg contains approximately 17 calories and 3.6g of protein in the reference values shown above. It contains very little fat compared with the yolk.

How many calories are in an egg yolk?

The yolk of a medium egg contains approximately 55 calories in the reference values shown above. It provides much of the egg's fat and contains nutrients including vitamin D and vitamin B12.

Do eggs have more calories when cooked?

Boiling or poaching an egg without additional ingredients does not substantially increase its total calories. Frying eggs or scrambling them with oil, butter, milk or other ingredients adds calories from those ingredients.

Are eggs a good source of protein?

Yes. A medium egg provides approximately 6.5g of protein in this calculator's reference values. Both the white and the yolk contain protein, although the white provides more protein relative to its calories.

Are eggs suitable for weight management?

Eggs provide protein and can be part of a balanced diet. Whether they fit a particular weight goal depends on overall energy intake, portion sizes and the rest of your eating pattern.

Does the egg size include the shell?

The size ranges displayed in the calculator refer to the weight of the egg with its shell. The nutritional estimates represent the edible egg, so they are approximate rather than a direct calculation from the full shell-on weight.
