Did you add the scrambled egg notation or use one from the database? A lot of people add a bit of milk to their scrambled eggs. That, along with the expected fat in the pan (the butter you don't use) could account for the difference.

I think they just assume you're cooking the egg in something. I'd just use the 80 colorie egg if I were you.

Those are the egg I use, even if I am eating them in a different form (mostly hard boiled).

I also notice a lot of the egg entries have a ton of sodium. WTH? Pretty much taught me to verify the numbers. Some stuff is entered goofy.

Perhaps you just need to log it as an egg and then whatever oil you used. I don't think MFP considers scrambled egg to be made without butter and such, hence the calorie difference.

I saw an entry for eggs that claimed they had 50 mg of fiber!

Maybe they are adding it, like when they add the Omega-3s :laugh: Yummy genetically engineered eggs! :ohwell:

As others have said, some people add milk and perhaps a knob of butter to their egg when scrambling it.

I cook mine in the microwave and add nothing whatsoever to it, so to me that is 70 or 80 calories (depending on the size of the thing). Same if I cook a two-egg omelette, the only thing I add to it is sliced mushrooms and that's it. I spray the pan using the one calories spray, so it is negligible.
