Whole large egg — complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids.
78 kcal per egg. Yolks have most of the micronutrients (choline, vitamin D). Whites are protein-only. Perfect protein quality score.
Best for
- higher-fat protein meals — 13g protein with 11g fat / 100g
- people who under-eat fat and bounce off super-lean diets
Watch out
- double-counting oil or butter you already logged separately
- assuming “protein” means low calorie — fat drives energy density here
How to log it
Log the cut/state you actually have (skin-on, marbled, etc.). 1 large egg (~50g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Works when the rest of the day is lighter on oils and nuts. Watch the weekly fat budget, not just the meal selfie.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
The numbers above are for plain eggs (large). Cooking method and restaurant prep change the estimate — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Boiled / poached | ~155 | Closest to the plain whole-egg entry |
| Scrambled, minimal fat | ~160–175 | Pan spray or a teaspoon of fat |
| Fried in oil or butter | ~190–230 | Fat in the pan is most of the swing |
| Restaurant omelette (cheese/fillings) | ~200–280 | Cheese, cream, and oil stack |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
