Food weight and portion guide
Fried egg: calories and portions
Worked recipe estimate using listed ingredients and an assumed finished weight
The model uses 200 g of raw shell-free egg and a stated oil quantity. Finished weight is assumed.
This worked recipe uses a specified weight of shelled eggs and oil. Bread and drinks are not included.
This estimate uses the ingredients below and an assumed finished recipe weight of 220 g. It is a calculation, not a measurement of your meal. See ingredients and quantities.
Calculate your portion
Enter 0.1–5,000 g. Exclude inedible skin, stones and bones.
Does your finished recipe have a different weight?
Adjust the finished weight only when the ingredients and quantities below are identical and the difference comes from water. This setting does not account for added or removed meat, oil or other ingredients.
Enter 0.1–50,000 g. Default: 220 grams.

Values are scaled from the per-100-g data and rounded. “Calories” means kilocalories (kcal).
Ingredients behind this estimate
The table lists the ingredients used in this worked calculation. Raw and cooked weights are not interchangeable. Assumed finished recipe weight: 220 g.
| Ingredient and preparation state | Weight | Calories in the batch |
|---|---|---|
| Egg, whole, raw, fresh [1] | 200 g | 286 |
| Oil, canola [2] | 25 g | 221 |
It is assumed that the mentioned ingredients and oil remain in the food. Absorbed or evaporated water is included in the final weight. Spices, salt and minor additives not mentioned are not calculated. If your composition is different, count the actual ingredients separately.
Frequently asked questions about Fried egg
How do I count fried eggs with bread?
Estimate the egg portion using a recipe close to yours, then add the type and weight of bread separately. A slice is not a fixed weight, and oil amounts vary.
Is cooking oil already included?
Yes. The full example uses 200 g of eggs and 25 g of oil. Do not add that oil again when using this recipe. Oil left in the pan creates uncertainty.
How to calculate a homemade recipe using its finished weight
Tips for weighing and logging
Distinguish retained oil from oil left in the pan. Log bread separately.
To calculate manually, multiply your portion weight in grams by 230.5 and divide by 100. For example, 100 g provides approximately 230.5 kcal, assuming the same composition and final weight.
When logging a photo, check the food, cooking method and estimated portion before saving. A photograph cannot reliably show hidden oil or exact weight.
Sources and calculation method
We total the energy and macronutrients of the listed ingredients, divide by the assumed finished recipe weight and multiply by 100.Library method and limitations
