Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories are in a hard-boiled egg?
One large hard-boiled egg contains approximately 78 calories, along with 6.3 g of protein, 5.3 g of fat, and less than 1 g of carbohydrates. Because no fat is added during cooking, boiling is one of the lowest-calorie ways to prepare an egg.
Do fried eggs have more calories than boiled eggs?
Yes. A fried egg cooked with a small amount of oil or butter contains about 92 calories per large egg, compared to 78 calories for a hard-boiled egg. Using generous butter or oil can push a fried egg to 120 or more calories.
How many calories are in an egg white?
One large egg white contains 17 calories, 3.6 g of protein, and virtually no fat. Egg whites are popular for cutting calories while maintaining protein intake, though removing the yolk eliminates most fat-soluble vitamins and choline.
How many calories are in 2 eggs?
Two large hard-boiled eggs contain approximately 156 calories and 12.6 g of complete protein. Two fried eggs range from 184 to 200 calories depending on the cooking fat used.
