The Steipler in Shiurin shel Torah chap.8 par. 9:

Behold, the Chasam Sofer and Beis Ephraim ask on the shiur of the Tzla"ch from Yoma 60 that the beis habliah cannot hold more than a chicken's egg, and at least the size of an egg is the food than can be eaten at one time. And if the eggs at the time of Chazal were double those of ours, how could it be possible that the beis habliah could hold a size like this? This was already answered by Maran ZTzLLH"H in Kuntras HaShiurim that an egg is without it's shell, and to increase by double [betashbarto], it is only nessessary  to add from outside about a fifth and the egg is eaten mashed (as the Magen Avraham writes siman 475:4 in the name of the Mordechai) and the swollowing continues and is considered food eaten at one time, since it is without interuption (this must be, LAD, for if not, even an egg of our times is apoarently impossible to swollow at one time, so is evident from nedarim chap.6 egg of turmita) and there nothing strange at all if the amount of an agg has increased by a fifth on it's outer surface.

Ad kan leshono.
