What is the calorie count different in raw eggs vs hard boiled or scrambled??? Especially if you do not use non stick, butter or oil to scramble the egg. And a boiled egg? It's just water. Why the difference?

    There are different sizes of eggs. Plus many of the fried/scrambled entries include oil and seasonings.

    So if I scan my egg carton and gets it's proper calorie count then it should stay the same if I cook it with out extras like oil. I thought so but when I looked it up it had a hundred different calorie counts, so I googled it...google was no help at all.

    yes you are correct. If you scanned your egg carton and you did not add anything else to your egg while cooking then it will be what you scanned. For me I use large grade A eggs and they are 70 calories per egg.
