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.
