why is there such a diffrence in calories in an egg and how it is prepared? If I poach an egg i boil it in water. If I hard boil an egg i boil it in water. If i cook an egg in zero calorie cooking spray there is a diffrence in calories of a hard boiled or paoched egg. So what is the calories of an egg?:grumble:

    I believe that 1 large egg is 70 calories. At least, that's what's on the nutrition info on my Egglands Best container.

    When I add them to my food diary, I add the info for the raw egg, and then if I've added anything else to cook it (butter/oil/milk/cheese) I add that seperately.

    70 cals.

    Just put an egg down

    And add whatever else you used with it. Like for me, I put two eggs and a quarter tbsp of coconut oil when I fry them up in the AM.

    There is no difference, it's 70 calories.

    If you add anything else while preparing it (oil, butter, etc.) list it separately in your diary. Zero calorie cooking spray doesn't count.

    This is what I do. I list one raw egg (70 calories) for hard boiled, soft boiled, poached, or any preparation...fat it is cooked in for fried or scrambled gets entered separately.
