Logging eggs

When logging my breakfast should I choose how the egg is cooked rather than snacking the bar code? I usually hard boil them, but every once in a while I have a fried egg. But when I do, I cook it without fats. No oils or butter, I just use the green pan and it doesn’t stick. Do the calories change depending how it is cooked?

    Meant scanning the egg, not “snacking”

    I don't think how they're cooked affects their calorie count in a significant way unless you're adding oils/sprays, so I have always just logged the eggs. :)

    No, just the additions will add to the calorie count. Doesn’t matter how it’s prepared unless you add things.

    And the obvious difference in the size of the eggs different calorie counts

    If I have full control over the cooking method and know it adds no extra calories: I log the egg. I will sometimes have scrambled eggs @ a restaurant and will use an entry for scrambled eggs that includes a higher # of calories/fat to account for oil which I assume they use.
