*DV = Daily Value, the FDA reference amount for adults (2,000 calories a day). It is not your personal need.
Values are for the edible portion, without peel, bone or pit. The weight on your scale may include those parts.
Averages from analyzed samples and published sources. The food in front of you may vary.
Raw or cooked?
100 g of Egg, whole, raw and 100 g of Egg, whole, hard-boiled don't have the same calories, because cooking changes the amount of water. Pick the line that matches the state you weighed the food in.
Egg, whole, raw: 143 cal. Egg, whole, hard-boiled: 155 cal. Values per 100 g.
(boiled or steamed) Boiling does not change the egg much. Per 100 g: 143 kcal raw and 155 kcal boiled or steamed. (fried) Fried food absorbs oil (and loses water), so it has more calories per 100 g. There is no reliable yield factor in the USDA data for this case. Per 100 g: 143 kcal raw and 196 kcal fried.
