Eggs are one of the most keto-friendly foods you can eat, but they are not completely carb-free. This Egg Carbs per 100g Calculator shows the exact carbohydrate content for whole eggs, egg whites, egg yolks, and common preparations — from raw and poached to scrambled and fried. If you are tracking carbs for a low-carb, keto, or diabetes-friendly meal plan, you will know instantly how many grams of carbs are on your plate.
Simply choose your egg type, enter your serving size in grams, ounces, or whole eggs, and press Calculate. The tool also gives a per-egg breakdown and shows you why eggs are such a powerful low-carb protein source. Use it for meal tracking, macronutrient planning, or just curiosity — the numbers are based on standard USDA reference values, so you can trust the result for everyday planning.
🥚 Egg Carbs per 100g Calculator
Find out how many carbs are in eggs — by preparation, part, and serving size.
How to Use This Tool
Start by selecting the egg type or preparation that best matches what you are eating: raw whole egg, hard-boiled, fried, scrambled, poached, raw egg white, raw egg yolk, duck egg, or quail egg. Then enter the amount you plan to eat. You can type the serving size in grams, ounces, or whole eggs, depending on which is most convenient. The quick-fill buttons set common amounts such as one whole egg, two eggs, 100 g, or 3.5 oz in a single click.
Press Calculate to see the total carbs in your serving, the carb value per 100 g, and the net carb amount (which is identical to total carbs because eggs contain no dietary fiber). Use the Copy Result button to paste your numbers into a food diary or nutrition spreadsheet, and press Reset whenever you want to try a different egg type or serving size.
Carbs in Different Egg Types
The table below summarizes typical total carbohydrate values for common egg forms. Values are based on generic foods from USDA FoodData Central and represent averages, not exact lab results.
| Form | Carbs per 100 g | Approx. per common serving |
|---|---|---|
| Raw whole egg | 0.72 g | 0.4 g per large egg (50 g) |
| Hard-boiled whole egg | 1.12 g | 0.6 g per large egg |
| Fried egg | 0.83 g | 0.4 g per large egg |
| Scrambled egg | 1.61 g | 0.8 g per serving made from 1 large egg |
| Poached egg | 0.71 g | 0.4 g per large egg |
| Raw egg white | 0.73 g | 0.2 g per white (33 g) |
| Raw egg yolk | 3.59 g | 0.6 g per yolk (17 g) |
| Duck egg (whole) | 1.45 g | 1.0 g per duck egg (70 g) |
| Quail egg (whole) | 0.41 g | 0.04 g per quail egg (9 g) |
Why Eggs Fit a Low-Carb Diet
Eggs are one of the most useful foods for low-carb, keto, and diabetic-friendly meal plans. A large whole egg provides roughly 6 g of protein, 5 g of fat, and only about 0.4 g of carbs. That protein-and-fat combination keeps meals satisfying and helps reduce the urge to snack on high-carb foods later in the day. Egg whites are especially protein-dense, while yolks supply vitamin A, vitamin D, choline, and antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin.
If you are building a low-carb plate, pair eggs with non-starchy vegetables, cheese, olive oil, or avocado. To keep the carb count in check, be cautious with toast, hash browns, sugary ketchup, and pancake syrup. For another common low-carb staple, see our avocado net carbs calculator. And if you are using eggs for weight management, our calorie-for-weight-loss calculator can help you set a daily calorie target around your favorite egg-based meals.
Calculation Method
The calculator follows a simple proportion: carbohydrates = (serving weight in grams ÷ 100) × carb density per 100 g. First the serving size is converted to grams. When you enter ounces, it multiplies by 28.35. When you enter whole eggs, it multiplies the number of eggs by the average edible weight for that egg type (50 g for a large chicken egg, 33 g for egg white, 17 g for yolk, 70 g for duck egg, 9 g for quail egg).
Limitations and Accuracy Notes
Values in this calculator are averages from USDA reference data. The actual carbohydrate content can vary with chicken feed, egg size, brand, cooking time, and preparation method. If you add milk, cream, flour, vegetables, or sauces to scrambled eggs or omelets, the carb count will be higher. Fried eggs coated in breading or batter would also be different. Always check the nutrition label on packaged egg products or egg substitutes.
Because eggs contain 0 g of dietary fiber, net carbs equal total carbs in every case shown here. This tool is intended for general nutrition education and meal planning; it is not medical advice. If you count carbohydrates for diabetes management or another medical condition, use this calculator alongside guidance from your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do eggs contain carbs?
Yes, but only a trace. A whole raw chicken egg has about 0.72 g of carbs per 100 g, which works out to roughly 0.4 g per large egg. In practical terms, eggs are a negligible-carb food for most people.
Does cooking change the carb content?
Cooking alters water content and can concentrate nutrients slightly, but the biggest change in carb count usually comes from added ingredients. Milk or cream in scrambled eggs adds lactose; flour or breadcrumbs in batter-fried eggs adds starch. Plain cooking methods such as boiling, poaching, or pan-frying without flour change the carb value very little.
Are eggs allowed on keto?
Yes. Because eggs are naturally low in carbs, moderate in protein, and rich in fat, they are a staple of many ketogenic diets. A typical two-egg breakfast contributes less than 1 g of carbs before any additions.
Which part of the egg has more carbs?
Per 100 g, raw egg yolk has about 3.59 g of carbs compared with 0.73 g in raw egg white. However, because a yolk is much smaller (about 17 g), a single yolk contributes only about 0.6 g, while a single egg white contributes about 0.2 g.
