Eggs are an incredibly versatile food. From scrambled to poached, there are many ways to cook an egg exactly the way you like it. And they’re not just for breakfast either. Eggs are found in baked goods, salads, sandwiches, ice cream, soups, stir-fries, sauces, and casseroles. Since you might be eating eggs on a regular basis, any health-conscious person should know about their nutrition.
Fortunately, eggs are healthier and lower in calories than most people think! There are about 72 calories in a large egg (50 grams). The exact number depends on the size of an egg. You can expect a small egg to have slightly less than 72 calories and an extra-large egg to have slightly more.
