How the form changes the number: preparation is the real variable across this family. Boiling leaches a meaningful share of soluble oxalate into the cooking water — commonly 30-50% for plant foods — while raw and dry-heat forms keep essentially all of it, so the same base food can land in different brackets depending on how it is cooked. This page tracks White only Eggs at 0 mg per serving, in line with the rest of the family. Related forms in this family: Fried in butter Eggs (0 mg), Eggs whole (0 mg), Hard-boiled Eggs (0 mg).
