What changes the calories
- Egg size matters most: a small egg has 54 calories while an extra large egg has 80.
- Frying or scrambling in butter or oil adds the calories of the fat used, while boiling and poaching add none.
- Mixing in milk, cream or cheese for scrambled eggs or omelets adds the calories of those ingredients.
- Using only the whites or only the yolks changes the calories a lot, since most of the fat sits in the yolk.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Check the size on the carton (small, medium, large or extra large) and log the matching serving, or weigh the egg without its shell.
- Log the cooking fat and any milk or cheese as separate items so your total reflects how you actually made the eggs.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your plate and then confirm the egg count and size so the scan matches what you ate.
