I was wondering how you guys normally log eggs..
Should i crack and beat them and measure the liquid in ml or weigh them before cracking??

I just log the size of the egg on the carton - ie large, extra large, etc. I don't weigh or measure.0

Weigh the egg uncooked, that's what I did anyway.0

I just use the info for an egg from the container. Eggs are sized before you buy them, so even if it's not 100 accurate, it's pretty close. The difference is not enough for me to make another dirty dish by weighing.0

Lmfao some people are making weighing eggs more difficult than it needs to be. Just throw the pan you're going to use on the scale, tare, and weigh the cracked eggs. I don't know why someone would be getting an extra dirty pan.
I do not recommend not weighing eggs as some suggested. Although high in protein, eggs are also calorie dense. Continuously making serving size mistakes with them can really add up.0 -

I put a bowl on my scale, tare it so it reads "0" and crack my eggs into it. Then I log the raw egg by grams. No scrambling necessary and I can still cook the egg however I want.0 -
I throw the whole carton on my scale before turning it on. It shows zero, pull out my eggs, and then put the empty shells on top of the carton. The negative weight on the scale equals the actual weight of the used egg.0

I look at my packaging and log the brand...I have never measured or weighed my eggs. If my brand is not available, I just log what kind of egg it is...i.e. medium, large, etc.0

I scan the the egg box using the app and then enter how many eggs used0

Depends on how tight you need to be with your logging. I weigh then without the shell. If i am weighing the rest of my food, i have the scale out anyway so its easy. Accuracy matters to me. ocd much? yes.0

Scrambled, I weigh them after I crack them. If I'm frying them, I weigh the whole egg first then weigh the shell after, because the skillet doesn't sit well on the scale without pushing the eggs to the edge.0

I use the info on the packaging even if someone threw a couple extra large eggs into my large carton.0

I always crack them into a bowl, whether weighing them or not (weighing for me is the norm). I always have, so I can fish out any bits of shell. I don't like crunchy eggs lol.0

Ditto at this point, lol.0 -
With all this weighing and measuring and cracking and beating, how much variation do you get from the average of 70 calories per large egg?0
