Calorie density
At 143 kcal per 100 g, egg (whole, raw) is a moderate calorie-density food — under 100 kcal/100g is generally considered low, 100–300 is moderate, and above 300 is high. This is a rough rule of thumb, not a USDA category.
Worth knowing
Almost all the fat and roughly two-thirds of the protein in an egg are in the yolk, not the white — separating them changes the nutrition profile substantially, not just the calorie count.
