Eggs are frequently referred to as "all-nutritional food" since they nearly always contain all of the necessary nutrients for human health.

The technique of cooking has a direct impact on the caloric content of eggs.

A medium-sized egg has only about 60 calories, whether it is poached or cooked. The number of calories in eggs remains constant.

However, scrambled eggs are heavy in calories as opposed to boiled or steamed eggs.

A scrambled egg adds 38 calories and 4.5 grammes of fat when combined with a teaspoon of butter or vegetable oil.

Eat boiled or steam-cooked eggs rather than scrambled eggs to reduce weight.
