How many calories and how much protein are in egg bhurji?
GymTribe's egg bhurji is 3 eggs, half a small onion, a small tomato, a green chilli and a tablespoon of oil. One 245 g serving is 360 calories, 20 g of protein, 8 g of carbs, 28 g of fat and 2 g of fiber, or about 147 calories and 8 g of protein per 100 g.
The three eggs are about 214 calories and 19 g of protein, the tablespoon of oil about 121 calories, and the onion, tomato and chilli together about 25. One egg is about 72 calories and 6 g of protein.
02 / Number of eggs
From one egg to eight.
| Calories | Protein | Fat | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 egg | 120 | 7 g | 9 g |
| 2 eggs | 240 | 13 g | 19 g |
| 3 eggs (the recipe) | 360 | 20 g | 28 g |
| 4 eggs | 480 | 27 g | 37 g |
| 6 eggs | 720 | 40 g | 56 g |
| 8 eggs | 960 | 53 g | 75 g |
That table scales the oil and vegetables with the eggs, the way the recipe page does. If you cook 6 eggs in the same single tablespoon of oil, it is about 574 calories and 39 g of protein; 8 eggs in one tablespoon about 718 calories and 52 g. The protein only ever comes from the eggs.
03 / Oil, butter, paneer, roti
What else changes it.
- Less oil. A teaspoon of oil instead of a tablespoon takes the 3-egg bhurji to about 280 calories, with the same 20 g of protein. The oil is the one ingredient you can cut without losing anything else.
- More oil. Two tablespoons, which is easy to do in a wide pan, is about 481 calories.
- Butter instead of oil. A tablespoon of butter in place of the oil is about 342 calories, slightly less than oil because butter is part water.
- Paneer crumbled in. 50 g of paneer adds about 150 calories and 10 g of protein: 510 calories and 30 g for the plate.
- With roti. Two rotis from 50 g of whole-wheat flour add about 170 calories and 7 g of protein: 530 calories and 27 g for bhurji and roti.
| Serving | Calories | Protein | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Egg bhurji, 3 eggs | 245 g | 360 | 20 g |
| Paneer bhurji with toast | 205 g | 470 | 25 g |
| Omelette with toast | 260 g | 430 | 27 g |
| Egg curry with rice | 565 g | 720 | 28 g |
| Egg salad | 240 g | 270 | 23 g |
04 / Logging it
How to log your own egg bhurji.

Count the eggs, measure the oil.
