Start with the eggs, cooking fat, and fillings in your scramble or omelet. A plain two-egg scramble and a cheese-and-meat omelet need different matches.
A worked portion example
A plain two-egg scramble
Illustrative calculation: 2 eggs weighs 100 g using the linked record's portion weight × 2. At 143 calories per 100 g, 100 × 143 ÷ 100 = about 143 calories and 12.4 g protein. This no-added-fat example has no cheese or meat filling. Choose the preparation that matches your pan.
Use egg count for a plain scramble, or weight for a shared batch
The no-added-fat example lists one egg as 50 g. Count the eggs in your portion when you know them. For a large scramble shared between people, total the eggs and additions, then divide the finished mixture by the amount served to each person.
Butter, oil, and cooking-spray preparations have separate entries, as do cheese, meat, and vegetable combinations. A cheese entry already represents cheese in that preparation. If your filling amounts are known, a calculation from the individual ingredients can describe them more closely.
A no-added-fat cheese or meat scramble still includes the cheese or meat named in the dish. Read the whole option rather than choosing it based on those three words. Toast, potatoes, and any sauce on the side remain separate from the egg mixture.
Editorial update: . Portion examples are calculations from the linked USDA records.
Compare all 59 food records, nutrition tables and USDA sources
The 59 exact records in this guide report 143–420 calories in the records' own listed source servings and 127–215 calories per 100 grams. Those are observations from named database records—not a universal range or an estimate of an unseen plate.
Across all 59 named USDA examples, a cup contains 171–290 calories. Each included example lists 135 g for that measure. The same household label can carry a different gram weight elsewhere in USDA data.
Match my meal
Start with the description closest to what you ate
For Scrambled eggs and omelets, begin by separating “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, from fast food / restaurant” from “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat.” Choosing a card filters this source set; it does not infer the portion or fill in ingredients the chosen description does not name.
How scrambled eggs and omelets records compare at 100 grams
Five rank landmarks are shown from all 59 cited records: minimum, 25th-ranked, median-ranked, 75th-ranked, and maximum. Weight is held at 100 grams; source-serving weights are listed in the table.
This guide keeps 59 named USDA records in view: 59 direct matches. All sit within “Eggs and omelets.” The exact descriptions remain the unit of comparison; the familiar heading is only the doorway into the evidence.
Why these records appear together: The deterministic grouping rule “normalized first description segment” placed these 59 records together under the exact grouping key “egg omelet or scrambled egg.” That rule determines membership before any nutrition result is read.
For Scrambled eggs and omelets, this page can compare 59 named records from FDC 2707206 through FDC 2707239. It cannot observe which preparation was eaten, recover unnamed additions, or supply the eaten grams.
Carry the denominator, exact identity, and strongest observed contrast into every number below.
Portion
100–210 g before composition
The largest source amount is 2.1× the smallest. Read per-serving calorie differences with that mass gap in view.
Composition
88 kcal separates the fixed-weight endpoints
The lower endpoint is “no fat added”; the higher is “with cheese and meat, made with oil.” This isolates density, not ingredient causation.
Discriminator
207 mg sodium gap per 100 g
Of protein, fiber, and sodium, the strongest normalized contrast is between “with tomatoes, no added fat” (213 mg) and “with cheese and meat, made with margarine” (420 mg).
Observed source examples
Three landmarks inside this source set—not universal endpoints
The cards are ordered by calories in each record's listed serving. Serving weights differ, so use per-100-gram values to compare composition. These selected records do not define a calorie range for every scrambled eggs and omelets.
Important: “Lower” begins with Egg omelet or scrambled egg, no added fat; “higher” ends with Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, fat added, using each record’s own source amount. Those labels order this selected set only—they are not endpoints for every scrambled eggs and omelets meal.
Full comparison
Compare every selected FNDDS record
For Scrambled eggs and omelets, serving columns preserve each record’s own listed amount, while calories per 100 g hold weight constant. A dash means the cited record does not supply that field; it does not mean the nutrient is absent.
On smaller screens, focus the table and scroll horizontally to read every column.
USDA records selected for the Scrambled eggs and omelets nutrition guide
Serving total and calorie density answer different questions
The listed source amounts run from 100 to 210 grams—a 110-gram gap before composition enters the comparison. Their own source servings run from 143 calories for “no added fat” to 420 for “with cheese, …, fat added.” At a fixed 100 grams, “no fat added” is 127 calories and “with cheese and meat, made with oil” is 215—a fixed-weight separation of 88 calories. For Scrambled eggs and omelets, the serving view answers “how much is in the database portion?”; the 100-gram view answers “how concentrated is the matched record?” Neither reveals how many grams were actually eaten.
The scaling rule: multiply a per-100-gram value by eaten grams ÷ 100. The arithmetic is exact; the result is only as defensible as the record match and portion estimate.
Preparation analysis
The long description carries the evidence
The published descriptions distinguish forms such as “from fast food / restaurant”, “with cheese and tomatoes, fat added”, “with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”, “with meat, made with butter”, and “with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”. Across the source formulations, the shared backbone includes eggs, grade a, large, egg whole and salt, table; differentiating rows include breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet, cheese as ingredient in sandwiches, oil or table fat, nfs, and dark green vegetables as ingredient in omelet. On this Scrambled eggs and omelets page, those rows make the records inspectable, but they are not a controlled experiment: they cannot tell us that one named input, by itself, caused a nutrient difference.
Database precision is not meal certainty. Retain the exact description beside the number so later corrections remain possible.
What changes the comparison
Four drivers worth checking before choosing a record
The family label “Scrambled eggs and omelets” cannot resolve the differences between Egg omelet or scrambled egg, from fast food / restaurant and Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat. The four checks below identify the record wording, source weight, and formulation evidence that can.
01
Source weight before serving calories
The source amounts span 100–210 grams. Compare per 100 grams before reading a serving-calorie gap as a composition gap.
02
The words that split the family
Representative record-level distinctions include “from fast food / restaurant”, “with cheese and tomatoes, fat added”, “with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”, “with meat, made with butter”, and “with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”. Those phrases are evidence for choosing a record, not decorative subtitle text.
03
Formulation evidence, with limits
Shared source rows include eggs, grade a, large, egg whole and salt, table; rows that vary across the set include breakfast meat as ingredient in omelet, cheese as ingredient in sandwiches, and oil or table fat, nfs. Presence is inspectable evidence, not proof of nutrient causation.
04
The unresolved plate
Even “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, from fast food / restaurant” leaves the eaten grams and unnamed oils, sauces, toppings, substitutions, or leftovers unresolved. Preserve those Scrambled eggs and omelets unknowns for correction instead of converting them into false precision.
Record matching
Match identity first; scale quantity second
Read the source name as a sequence of decisions. First confirm that scrambled eggs and omelets is the right meal family. Then resolve the phrases that actually separate this set—“from fast food / restaurant”, “with cheese, made with animal fat or meat drippings”, “with meat and tomatoes, fat added”, and “with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat”—before comparing gram weight. If a package, menu, or known recipe provides a closer first-party description, prefer it and keep this USDA record as a transparent fallback.
A practical matching checklist
Read the complete Scrambled eggs and omelets source description, including preparation and additions.
Compare the listed source weight with the amount actually eaten.
Prefer a current package or restaurant source when a specific branded item is known.
Record toppings, sauces, cooking fat, sides, and substitutions that the selected description does not name.

Choose the record before reading the number
Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with cheese, meat, and vegetables other than dark-green and/or tomatoes, fat added and Egg omelet or scrambled egg, with vegetables other than dark green and/or tomatoes, no added fat are not interchangeable
The page keeps both records at the same 100 g denominator and makes Added-fat wording (added fat versus no added fat) the explicit record-description contrast. It does not show that the wording difference caused a nutrient difference. Pick the description that matches the food in front of you rather than averaging away the distinction.
