Is egg good for weight loss?
Eggs are one of the most useful foods for weight loss. Each large egg gives 6.5 g of high-quality protein for about 80 kcal, and protein keeps you full for longer than the same calories from refined carbs.
Two boiled eggs with a roti or a bowl of poha make a balanced, filling breakfast. If you are watching calories closely, boil or poach rather than fry, or measure the oil.
Tips to keep egg lighter
- Count the oil, not the egg. An omelette or bhurji made with a tablespoon of oil has more calories from the oil than from the egg.
- Whole egg or white? The yolk holds most of the fat and vitamins. Mix one whole egg with extra whites if you want more protein for fewer calories (see egg white calories).
- Batch boil. Boiled eggs keep in the fridge for about a week, which makes a quick protein snack.

How we calculated these numbers
Values from USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy), entry "Egg, whole, cooked, hard-boiled".
Calories are rounded to the nearest 5 kcal and macros to the nearest 0.5 g. Home cooking varies, mostly in portion size and oil, so treat these as good estimates rather than exact values. The text on this page was drafted with AI assistance and checked by the Calo AI Team; every number is calculated from the data above. Read more in how we calculate.
