Egg calories & nutrition (raw, whole)
This reference uses raw, whole, fresh eggs, measured without the shell. It is useful for counting eggs added to a recipe; a cooked egg or a prepared breakfast dish needs its matching entry.

The gram weights shown are reference edible portions. Shell weight should not be included, and an egg white is not a fraction of a whole egg with identical proportions.

Values are scaled from the USDA figures per 100 g. Calories are rounded to a whole number; gram values to one decimal. A dash means the source does not provide that value. Portions are reference measurements, not serving recommendations.
An egg portion excludes the shell.
The source description identifies which egg preparation is represented here. Whole eggs, egg whites, and yolks have different values, as do prepared egg dishes with added ingredients. Match the record to what you measured instead of applying one entry to every way of serving an egg.
If the listed egg size matches your carton, counting eggs is a convenient starting point. For a partial egg or a size that differs from the reference portion, weigh the edible amount without the shell. When building a breakfast or a recipe, add butter, oil, milk, cheese, and fillings separately. Those additions can change the finished dish even when the number of eggs stays the same.
Bacon, cheese & caramelized onion quiche: Use the raw egg amount before mixing the filling, then include the cream, cheese, pastry, and other ingredients when estimating the whole quiche.
