1 piece (medium) of Egg (cooked, low oil) (55 g) has 81 calories. That works out to 148 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.6 g of carbs, 6.9 g of protein, 5.6 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 11 µg of Biotin covers 37% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
An egg cooked with a little oil is cracked into a lightly greased pan and cooked until the white is set. The yolk may remain soft, with just a little golden browning at the edges. Eggs cooked this way are a familiar breakfast in many places, served with toast or bread; they also make a quick meal at other times of day, often alongside vegetables or salad.
Eggs provide high-quality protein and vitamin B12, with very little carbohydrate, so this is a filling option for a simple meal. For a lighter plate, use a non-stick pan and just enough oil to coat it, then pair the egg with tomatoes, greens or whole-grain toast.

Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Use a sound nonstick pan, warm it over medium-low heat, then add a small amount of oil before cracking in the egg. A pan that is too hot can make the white seize and stick, even when you use oil.
Yes, an egg cooked with a little oil provides high-quality protein and vitamin B12. Using only a small amount of oil limits what you add during cooking; pair it with vegetables or whole-grain toast for a more substantial meal.
It can be, but a runny yolk does not eliminate the risk of foodborne illness. Cook the white until fully set, and choose a fully cooked egg if you are pregnant, very young, older, or immunocompromised.
An egg cooked with a little oil usually keeps for 3–4 days in the refrigerator when promptly chilled and stored in a covered container. Discard it if it has been left at room temperature for too long.
Yes, you can reheat an egg cooked with a little oil, though the yolk may firm up and the texture may turn rubbery. Cover it and heat it briefly, checking that it is hot throughout before eating.
No, flipping is optional when cooking an egg with a little oil. Cover the pan to set the top of the white while keeping the yolk runny, or flip it briefly if you prefer the yolk more thoroughly cooked.
An egg cooked with a little oil turns rubbery when it is exposed to high heat or left in the pan too long. Use medium-low heat and remove it once the white is set; the hot pan will continue cooking it briefly.
You can freeze an egg cooked with a little oil, but it is usually not worth doing because thawing makes the white watery and the texture tough. For the best result, cook only what you plan to eat soon.
An egg cooked with a little oil can make a meal more filling because it contains protein, but it does not cause weight loss on its own. Serving it with vegetables can make breakfast satisfying without relying on extra cooking oil.
A small, well-maintained nonstick pan works best for cooking an egg with a little oil because the white releases easily with less added fat. A seasoned cast-iron pan can also work if it is properly heated and lightly oiled.
