Fat/Protein/carbs in scrambled Egg as opposed to whole egg

bazfitness

I noticed here and on other sites via Google search that scrambled egg has higher percentage of fat than a whole egg per gram. I don't understand why that should be the case IF you don't add any item to it. So do these figures for fat assume you're already adding milk perhaps or adding a bit of butter or oil?

Thanks for any help.

I'm assuming people add milk before scrambling, and then cook it in either oil or butter.

When I do my scrambled egg, I add the eggs and the butter separately in my log.

its not... All eggs are different depending on the size!!


If you are not adding anything, use what your egg carton states per egg!!

Also,
while scrammbling the water from eggs converts to steam, so they weight less when they are raw.
So even if you add nothing, scrammbled wggs will have more kcal/gram, then raw.
I log scrammbled as raw. If you add nothing, it's like you had raw egg.
Do not overcomplicate...

I sort of thinking the same thing as mpscolac, but didn't know how to get it into words. It would like the opposite of pasta.

Uncooked pasta weighs less than cooked pasta, but it doesn't mean it adds any calories to it, it jsut absorbed water. With eggs I guess the egg white dissolves because of the heat or something.

I just add eggs, and a drop of milk. I don't add anything else to my scrambled eggs, so I'm not going to add anything else to my diary.

Yeah was thinking this might be the case when water converts to steam it reduces size of what was the whole egg. Thanks a lot. Yeah I think I am overcomplicating - put it down to newbie enthusiasm

Well I weighed them before I cooked them so I know their weight. My eggs came from a neighbour's hens so afraid using what the egg carton says doesn't work for me One of the reasons why I'm using so many eggs lately this neighbour came around a few days ago and dropped off dozens of eggs. Probably will be completely fed up with them by the time we get through them.

Well in that case... I can tell you an extra large egg is about 80 cals, 6 grams of fat and about 6-7 grams of protein.. A large egg is 70 cals, medium 60 cals, etc...

Thats a good number to go by to get your egg stats. I eat eggs like they are going out of style, egg whites also!!!

just pick the one with the most confirmations when adding, Its probably right!!!

Eggs are awesome.

Extra large egg is about 80 calories, large is about 70, medium is 60.

I also add 2% milk to my eggs when I scramble (no butter though) and I log it separately.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
