Values for eggs vary by brand and how it is cooked. Check the pack. General information, not medical advice.

How many eggs is the number for

A large egg is about 50 g in the shell-free weight used here, so two eggs are about 100 g. If your eggs are medium or extra large, scale the serve rather than the egg count; the table lists a few weights to make that easy.

Boiling adds nothing, frying does

A boiled egg shows only a little more than a raw one per 100 g, because some water goes. The fried row is higher because the egg picks up oil in the pan. For an omelette or scrambled egg, log the eggs, then the butter or oil and any milk as their own lines.

Where the protein is

Most of the protein is in the white and most of the fat is in the yolk. The comparison table shows egg white on its own for anyone who wants the protein with very little fat.
