Why fried egg calorie numbers differ
A fried egg is a whole egg cooked in a pan with oil, pepper and salt. The oil is the whole story: a nonstick pan with a few drops differs from a street-side tawa with a generous pool, and a crisp, lacy edge means more oil has been absorbed. Egg size matters too, as a large egg gives more than a small egg.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 35% of the calories in 1 fried egg.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 58 g per fried egg. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
