How this fits a day of eating
Two large eggs are about 155 calories, under 8% of a 2,000 calorie day, with roughly 13g of protein. Eggs are a moderate-calorie protein source rather than a very lean one, since fat supplies most of their energy, but they are filling, cheap and easy to portion accurately.
Cooking method matters more than the egg. Boiling and poaching add nothing, while a large egg fried in a teaspoon of oil or butter gains roughly 35 to 40 calories. All weights on this page are for the egg without its shell, from USDA data; UK and EU size classes are graded with the shell on, so they do not match these weights.
Common questions
How many calories are in a hard-boiled egg?
A large hard-boiled egg weighs about 50g without its shell and contains roughly 78 calories, 6g of protein and 5g of fat. A medium egg of about 44g is closer to 68 calories, and a small 38g egg about 59. Boiling adds nothing, while frying adds whatever oil or butter stays in the pan.
Are eggs good for weight loss?
Eggs can support weight loss well. A large egg provides around 6g of high-quality protein for under 80 calories, and studies suggest egg-based breakfasts can keep people fuller than refined carbohydrate breakfasts with similar calories. Pairing eggs with vegetables adds volume to the meal without adding many calories.
Are the calories in an egg in the yolk or the white?
Most are in the yolk. The yolk of a large egg contains about 55 calories and nearly all of the fat, while the white contains roughly 17 calories and a little under 4g of protein. Egg whites are very lean, but the yolk supplies most of the vitamins, including vitamin D and choline.
How many calories are in 3 large eggs?
1 large egg has about 78 calories, so 2 large eggs come to roughly 155 and 3 large eggs to 233. The same maths keeps going: 5 large eggs are about 388 and ten about 775. Use the quantity calculator above for any number up to 20.
