Egg, Benedict calories: 446 per 1 egg (155 g)
This exact USDA record reports 446 calories for 1 egg (155 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 446 calories for 1 egg at 155 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 288 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 21.4 g protein, 0.9 g fiber, and 725 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is egg, whole, boiled or poached, representing 29% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 5 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 egg at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707180: “Egg, Benedict.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2707180, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 116.3 g | 335 kcal | 16 g | 0.7 g | 544 mg |
| 1 eggUSDA-listed household measure | 155 g | 446 kcal | 21.4 g | 0.9 g | 725 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 193.8 g | 558 kcal | 26.7 g | 1.2 g | 907 mg |

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707180’s 155 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Saturated fat. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Egg, Benedict,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707176 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 155 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 116.3–193.8 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 335 kcal and 558 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707176
At an equal 100 g, this record has 0.6 g more dietary fiber than “Duck egg, cooked.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Egg, whole, boiled or poached
The source formulation has 5 input rows; Egg, whole, boiled or poached supplies 29% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “Benedict” fits. Inspect FDC 2707176 when “cooked” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 64 more calories, 1.8 g more protein, and 7.1 g more carbohydrate than “Duck egg, cooked.”
Only this record lists Hollandaise sauce; Canadian bacon, cooked, pan-fried; Margarine, stick; Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough). Only the comparison record lists Egg, duck, whole, fresh, raw; Salt, table; Oil or table fat, NFS. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
6 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Listed only in this record: Hollandaise sauce; Canadian bacon, cooked, pan-fried; Margarine, stick; Muffins, English, plain, enriched, with ca prop (includes sourdough); and 1 more.
Listed only in the comparison: Egg, duck, whole, fresh, raw; Salt, table; Oil or table fat, NFS.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 155 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 egg (155 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 70 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 egg (70 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707180 with FDC 2707176 at equal mass; use their 155 g and 70 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707180 versus FDC 2707176 is a comparison of standardized source records—not a measurement of your meal, an overall food-quality rank, or proof that one input caused a difference.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat, toppings and add-ins.
For “Egg, Benedict,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
portion size
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
recipe or brand
Prefer a package, menu, or known recipe when it identifies the food more precisely. Otherwise preserve the generic record as an explicit approximation.
- 03
cooking fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
- 04
toppings and add-ins
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707180 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 288 kcal per 100 g becomes 446 kcal at 155 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 egg has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2707180
FNDDS food code: 32101500
The scaling for FDC 2707180 can be exact while the match to “Egg, Benedict” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 155 g weight, 5-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
