In fact, an egg does
contain a complete protein and is filled with nutrients. Actually, the number
of calories in this egg depends on the size of the egg itself.
Based on the American
Egg Board, a large egg contains 70 calories. The bigger the eggs the more
calories content.
Based on United States
Department of Agriculture's Food Composition Databases (USDA), a large raw egg
has 72 calories.
While the small raw egg
has only 54 calories. Large, small, and jumbo size is adjusted to USDA rules
based on the weight of the egg itself.
Based on USDA
calculations, jumbo chicken eggs weigh about 30 ounces /dozen. While large eggs
weigh 24-27 ounces per dozen.
The number of calories
in an egg is actually not just calculated based on the raw egg weight. There
are other factors that can affect the calorie content in eggs is a way of
cooking.
According to the USDA, a
poached egg has k72 calories, but a boiled egg has 78 calories. While the fried
egg has 90 calories.
High-calorie content is
owned by scrambled eggs. This type of egg has a calorie 91 calories due to the
addition of milk in it. But the highest is a large chicken egg is processed
into an omelet (94 calories).
This number of calories
will be much higher if you cook it with extra fat. For example oil, butter, or
extra eggs. In addition, additional toppings on top such as cheese, vegetables,
or sausage will add calories as well.
