Using this food reference
The raw whole-egg record represents uncooked egg ingredients, not a recommendation to eat raw egg. Its large-egg portion uses edible contents without the shell.
The existing hard-boiled-egg page covers a different preparation. Cooking and added ingredients can change the portion comparison; use the record that matches how the egg is included in your meal.
Match the food before using the numbers
The selected USDA description is Egg, whole, raw, fresh. Preparation, water loss, added oil, salt, edible skin, product formulation, and measured portion can change the nutrition of the food you actually eat.
