Eggs are foods that can be used in any meal. Eggs can be used as a side dish, a complementary food ingredient, to make cakes. Given its versatility, we may wonder how many calories are in one egg in order to regulate its intake.
Reporting from Healthline, the calories in an egg depend on its size. Here are the details:
- Small eggs (38 grams): 54 calories
- Medium egg (44 calories): 63 calories
- Large egg (50 grams): 72 calories
- Extra large egg (56 grams): 80 calories
- Jumbo eggs (63 grams): 90 calories
Keep in mind, the description above is a whole egg of calories, without any additives. If we cook eggs with oil or butter or serve them with bacon, cheese, and other cooking ingredients, of course the calories in eggs will increase.
For example, a large egg cooked with one tablespoon (4 grams) of butter has 174 calories. Then the omelet with three eggs and cheese cooked in butter has about 400 calories.
