From Wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_egg_sizes

Chicken eggs are graded by size, for the purpose of sales. The weight of an egg minus the shell is about 13% less than the weight of the egg including the shell.

United States of America
The United States Department of Agriculture sizing is based by weight per dozen.[1] The most common US size of chicken egg is 'Large' and is the egg size commonly referred to for recipes.

The following egg masses have been calculated on the basis of the USDA sizing:

Modern Sizes (USA)

Jumbo                                Greater than 2.5 oz. or 71 g
Very Large or Extra-Large (XL) Greater than 2.25 oz. or 64 g       56 mL (4 tbsp)
Large (L)                                Greater than 2 oz. or 57 g       46 mL (3.25 tbsp)
Medium (M)                                Greater than 1.75 oz. or 50 g       43 mL (3 tbsp)
Small (S)                                Greater than 1.5 oz. or 43 g
