Should eggs be weighed raw or cooked?

Weigh it in whichever state you log it, and use the row that matches — this page is the cooked row. Cooking does not change how many calories are there, only how many grams they are spread across: meat loses water in the pan and gets denser, grains and pasta absorb it and get lighter per gram.

1 large	61 g	91	6.1 g	6.7 g	1 g

The eggs rows exist in more than one state because water moves during cooking: this is the cooked row. Weigh the food in the state you log and pick the row that matches — the calories don’t change in the pan, the grams do. The mechanics are in cooked vs raw weights.

Worth knowing

USDA scrambled eggs include a splash of milk and a little fat, which is why they are slightly lower in protein per 100 g than a plain egg: the milk dilutes it.
