What one serving looks like
One boiled egg is a medium egg of about 50 g without the shell, the size you get from a typical tray.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 78 kcal, one serving is about 5 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 7 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. An egg is a cheap, filling protein. Two eggs at breakfast is a common choice, and it lets you cut back on fried items.

How cooking changes the number
Boiled and poached eggs have no added fat. Frying in oil or butter adds calories to the egg.
A swap to try
Try Egg omelette. An omelette with onion is just as easy, though the oil adds calories. Egg omelette (2 egg omelette, about 110 g) comes to 200 kcal, which is 122 kcal more than 78 for boiled egg, but it brings something different to the plate.
Who might want to watch it
People with high cholesterol are sometimes told to limit yolks. Ask your doctor what suits you.
