Egg, whole, fried with animal fat or meat drippings calories: 103 per 1 egg (55 g)
This exact USDA record reports 103 calories for 1 egg (55 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 103 calories for 1 egg at 55 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 188 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.4 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 147 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is eggs, grade a, large, egg whole, representing 93.2% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 3 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.
The household measures attached to this record span roughly 103–254 calories across the listed portions. That is a set of scaled examples—not a confidence interval, a recommendation, or a claim about the full universe of recipes.
Calculated from the smallest and largest usable household measures listed by USDA for this exact FNDDS record; not a confidence interval.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2707160: “Egg, whole, fried with animal fat or meat drippings.” 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 2707160, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “1 cup” 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 | 41.3 g | 78 kcal | 4.8 g | 0 g | 111 mg |
| 1 eggUSDA-listed household measure | 55 g | 103 kcal | 6.4 g | 0 g | 147 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 135 g | 254 kcal | 15.8 g | 0 g | 362 mg |
02 · Fixed-weight context

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2707160’s 55 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.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin A92.4 µg
≈ 10% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin D1.4 µg
≈ 7% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Tradeoff-side signals

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Egg, whole, fried with animal fat or meat drippings,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707202 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Listed portion span: 1 egg to 1 cup
USDA assigns those measures 55 g and 135 g. At this record’s fixed composition, scaled energy moves from 103 kcal to 254 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2707202
At an equal 100 g, this record has calories than “Egg omelet or scrambled egg, made with animal fat or meat drippings.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole
The source formulation has 3 input rows; Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole supplies 93.2% 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 “whole; fried with animal fat or meat drippings” fits. Inspect FDC 2707202 when “made with animal fat or meat drippings” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Plain-English read
The six displayed nutrient values are close under a conservative materiality screen. Small differences remain exact source values, not evidence that one food is preferable.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations match
The USDA input rows shown on these profiles are identical. The nutrient or portion distinction therefore should not be attributed to a different named input.
Shared listed inputs: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole; Salt, table; Animal fat or drippings.
Portion evidence
The listed portion sets differ
This record’s reference amount is 55 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 egg (55 g).
The comparison record’s reference amount is 110 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 cup (135 g).
Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707160 with FDC 2707202 at equal mass; use their 55 g and 110 g source amounts only for portion matching.
Evidence boundary: FDC 2707160 versus FDC 2707202 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 amount of absorbed frying fat, portion size, recipe or brand, cooking fat.
For “Egg, whole, fried with animal fat or meat drippings,” resolve amount of absorbed frying fat first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount of absorbed frying 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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
- 04
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.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2707160 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 188 kcal per 100 g becomes 103 kcal at 55 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: 2707160
FNDDS food code: 31105060
The scaling for FDC 2707160 can be exact while the match to “Egg, whole, fried with animal fat or meat drippings” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 55 g weight, 3-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
