Fried eggs vs. scrambled eggs?
 
I have a question regarding eggs. When I have fried eggs, I have 2 large, and on my PLAN, I record it as such. After I update, it says I've had .8 carbs from those 2 fried eggs. Now, when I have 2 scrambled eggs...everything the same; 2 large, same spices, same way to cook other than scrambling...it says they were worth 2.4 carbs. What is the difference? Or is this a mistake on one of them? I honestly can't see how there CAN be a difference, since they are both exactly the same, other than how they look when they get onto my plate. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! :)

I suspect that My-plan takes into account the method of cooking eggs which can be misleading.

I've started logging eggs (no matter what method) as boiled.
I add my oils for cooking *everything* - separately.
Not gospel - but imo it helps me to determine my carbs more accurately.

Yes, I think they assume that scrambled eggs will include some milk.

I always add eggs (no matter how they are cooked) as "egg, whole, raw, fresh," then add whatever else I use - butter, oil, cream etc.

Ah...I hadn't thought about milk. I've never used it for my scrambled eggs, so it didn't occur to me that it might be assumed.

Thank you both for the responses. It's helped immensely! :)

I make my scrambled eggs with a dollop of HWC. Wow, are they good!

Really? It's honestly never occurred to me. I may have to indulge sometime ;)

I usually add some cream to my scrambled eggs.
