Egg, whole, pickled calories: 77 per 1 egg (50 g)

This exact USDA record reports 77 calories for 1 egg (50 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 77 calories for 1 egg at 50 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 154 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.

Composition: that source amount also reports 6.3 g protein, 0 g fiber, and 196 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, cooked, hard-boiled, representing 99.3% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 2 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 2707167: “Egg, whole, pickled.” 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 2707167, 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.

02 · Fixed-weight context

Where 100 grams sits inside Eggs and omelets

The comparison set contains 116 exact records in the Eggs and omelets USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2707167’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens

The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals

At FDC 2707167’s 50 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. 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 A74 µg

≈ 8% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Vitamin D1.1 µg

≈ 6% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Tradeoff-side signals

Sodium196 mg

≈ 9% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.

Saturated fat1.6 g

04 · Highest-impact checks

The three levers most worth resolving first

For “Egg, whole, pickled,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2707156 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.

  1. 01

    Portion sensitivity around 50 g

    A 25% weight move in either direction spans 37.5–62.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 58 kcal and 96 kcal.

  2. 02

    Record choice: compare with FDC 2707156

    At an equal 100 g, this record has 148 mg more sodium than “Egg, whole, fried no added fat.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.

  3. 03

    Formulation anchor: Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled

    The source formulation has 2 input rows; Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled supplies 99.3% 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; pickled” fits. Inspect FDC 2707156 when “whole; fried no added fat” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Inside the source record

Source formulation behind this USDA record

USDA links FDC 2707167 to 2 source inputs totaling 100.7 g in its standardized formulation. Publishing that exact provenance makes “Egg, whole, pickled” inspectable beside similarly named records.

How to read this

2 listed components

The largest listed inputs by source weight are Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled, Salt, table. The order and weights below come from the standardized USDA formulation, so they offer context for this exact database entry.

100.7 g total listed input weight across the formulation.

Use this formulation to choose a closer record—not to reverse-engineer a recipe. If your meal adds, removes, or substantially changes one of these components, another source entry or a photo-based estimate may fit better.

Exact-record context

What makes this USDA record distinct?

For FDC 2707167, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Eggs and omelets” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read

At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 11 more calories and 148 mg more sodium than “Egg, whole, fried no added fat.”

Only this record lists Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled. Only the comparison record lists Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.

2 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.

Shared listed inputs: Salt, table.

Listed only in this record: Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled.

Listed only in the comparison: Eggs, Grade A, Large, egg whole.

Portion evidence

The listed portion sets differ

This record’s reference amount is 50 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 egg (50 g).

The comparison record’s reference amount is 50 g; a familiar listed measure is 1 egg (50 g).

Use the 100-gram row to compare FDC 2707167 with FDC 2707156 at equal mass; use their 50 g and 50 g source amounts only for portion matching.

Evidence boundary: FDC 2707167 versus FDC 2707156 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, whole, pickled,” resolve portion size first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 2707167 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 154 kcal per 100 g becomes 77 kcal at 50 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: 2707167

FNDDS food code: 31107000

The scaling for FDC 2707167 can be exact while the match to “Egg, whole, pickled” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 50 g weight, 2-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
