Interesting. I just typed in "hard boiled egg large" and came up with 70 calories. I know the Poached is 74. Sometimes you have to just go with what you know is right.

I wonder if poached egg is assuming some toast underneath - otherwise, I couldn't imagine.

I have a similar issue with hard boiled and scrambled. If I use PAM on the pan, why would there be a difference.

I would use what makes sense.. jb

the only time I use a different description is if it's the hard boiled egg and i only eat the white. other than that, I don't tell it how I cooked the egg. I think some "recipes" for scrambled eggs have milk or other things included. just tell it how many eggs, it doesn't need to know how you cooked them.

I agree with lucky

It depends on what you are poaching it in. If you are poaching the egg in water, it should be the same as a hard boiled egg. But if you are basting the egg with butter or bacon fat that will of course increase the calorie count.

I looked up hard boiled egg and it did say 112 cal. but that was for 1 cup not 1 egg
