Energy comes from USDA nutrient 1008. Salt is calculated as sodium × 2.5, with unit conversion to grams. It is not a separately measured salt value.
Preparation
Frying can add fat and reduce water weight. The fried reference is 196 kcal per 100 g, compared with 155 for the separate hard-boiled reference, but their difference does not measure exactly how much oil your pan absorbed. Use this prepared-food record when it fits the meal, or calculate from measured egg and cooking-fat ingredients instead.
Logging this food
The large fried-egg serving in this record weighs 46 g, about 1.6 oz, and supplies roughly 90 kcal. Two such servings are about 180 kcal before separate toppings. If you use this prepared-food entry, avoid automatically adding another standard allowance for frying oil. For a recipe calculated from raw eggs and measured fat, do not also add the prepared fried-egg entry.
Swaps and alternatives
The large hard-boiled serving is about 78 kcal and the poached serving about 72 in their respective records; the fried serving here is about 90. Serving weights and preparation differ, so these are reference comparisons rather than savings measured on the same egg. For a full breakfast, include the toast, spread, cheese or sauce actually eaten.
