This may seem like a silly question, but does the caloric value of eggs change depending on how they are cooked? I'm not sure why there are so many different calorie values for eggs in the database. If the carton of eggs says that each egg is 70 calories, why does it say that one scrambled egg is 101 calories? Or that a hard boiled egg is 78? I'm not adding any butter and only using a serving of zero calorie cooking spray (for scrambled) so I don't understand what's going on. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it!!

    If the egg is cooked in a different food like butter or oil, then obviously you need to add that in. The calories however do not change between hard cooked, scrambled or raw for that matter as long as you don't add anything to them.
