I LOVE fried egg whites... and use pam spray instead of butter to reduce calories. The fried egg whites in the database I've always used says theres about 40 calories in 2 fried eggs. I was browsing through a calorie counting book, and it said there was about 90 in ONE fried egg white? Anyone have an answer for this!? I'm afraid I've been consuming more calories than I realized....

    one fried egg including the yoke is about 90 calories i belive without the yoke it is around 30-40.

    Yeah I believe one egg white straight up is 15 - 17 calories. So add the pam spray calories and you have your total. Egg whites are really one of my favourite low calorie protein sources. Egg white omelette with veggies and low cal toast all the way!

    One egg white contains about 3g of protein, with 4 cal/g, so 12 calories.

    liquid egg whites are roughly 30 cals per 1/4 cup/serving incase that is what you use. I love egg whites!
