One egg is easy. A whole day gets harder.

Kibora helps you log meals quickly by photo, voice, barcode, text, or favorites, then puts calories and nutrition into the context of your whole day.

Nutrition data and methodology

Raw whole-egg nutrition values and common egg-size weights are based on USDA FoodData Central. The hard-boiled egg answer uses the separate USDA hard-boiled whole-egg record.

Eggs naturally differ in size and composition, and cooking can change water content or add fat, so nutrition values should be treated as practical estimates rather than exact measurements.
