Every serving below is a USDA household measure for this food, a fraction of one, or a unit conversion. Amounts are USDA values scaled by weight; only the Nutrition Facts panel applies the coarser FDA label rounding.
| Serving | Weight | Calories | Total carbohydrate | Protein | Total fat | Dietary fiber | Total sugars |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 large | 17 g | 55 | 0.6 g | 2.7 g | 4.5 g | 0 g | 0.1 g |
| 1 cup | 243 g | 782 | 8.7 g | 38.5 g | 64.5 g | 0 g | 1.4 g |

Egg yolk (1 large, 17 g) has 55 calories. 100 g has 322 calories. On a Nutrition Facts label, calories are rounded to the nearest 5 or 10, so the panel above may show 50.
One large egg yolk (17 g) has about 55 calories in this USDA record, and a cup of yolks (243 g) about 782. Per 100 g it lists 322 calories.
Egg yolk (1 large, 17 g) has 184 mg of cholesterol, 61% of the Daily Value. 100 g has 1,085 mg. That is 20% DV or more per serving, which the FDA treats as high.
Egg yolk (1 large, 17 g) has 139 mg of Choline, 25% of the Daily Value. 100 g has 820 mg. At 20% DV or more per serving, that meets the FDA threshold for an "excellent source" claim.
100 g of egg yolk has 322 calories, 15.9 g protein, 3.59 g carbohydrate, 0 g fiber, 0.56 g sugars and 26.5 g fat.
About 5% of the calories in egg yolk come from carbohydrate, 75% from fat and 20% from protein (Atwater factors of 4, 9 and 4 calories per gram).
Per 100 g, compared with the other 27 eggs in this database, egg yolk has more calories than 70% of them and more protein than 70%.
The same serving of egg yolk, drawn by the label formats other markets require: the Canadian bilingual Nutrition Facts table, the EU nutrition declaration (per 100 g, energy in kJ and kcal, salt instead of sodium) and the UK nutrition information table with reference intakes. The generator switches between these and many more from one recipe.

If you make and sell a product that contains egg yolk, these free tools cover the next steps.
Nutrient values are from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy (April 2018 release, public domain), record 172184: "Egg, yolk, raw, fresh". Values are stored per 100 g exactly as USDA reports them and scaled to each serving by weight. The Nutrition Facts panel applies the FDA rounding rules in 21 CFR 101.9; tables and text show the scaled amounts at reading precision, so a figure can differ slightly from the panel. A nutrient USDA does not report for this food is shown as not reported, never as a guessed value.
SR Legacy predates the added sugars field. This is a whole or unsweetened food, so added sugars are shown as 0 g. View the USDA record ↗
