## How Many Calories Are in an Egg?

One large whole egg weighs around 50 g without the shell and contains about 72 calories.

Per 100 g, raw whole egg contains approximately 143 calories.

## Calories in an egg by size

Egg sizes refer to the edible whole egg without the shell, so calories increase with the weight of the egg.

| Serving | Weight | Calories |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Small egg | 38 g | 54 kcal |
| Medium egg | 44 g | 63 kcal |
| Large egg | 50 g | 72 kcal |

| Jumbo egg | 63 g | 90 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 143 kcal |

## Calculate calories for your egg

Weigh the egg without the shell, then enter the edible weight below. For several eggs, enter their combined weight.

Calculated from average raw whole-egg nutrition values per 100 g. Egg size and cooking method can change the result.

## 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.

## How many calories should you eat per day?

Knowing that a large egg has about 72 calories is useful. Knowing how that fits into your own day is more useful.

## 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.
