The USDA thinks a medium onion is 2.5" diameter and weighs 110g, so that'd be about four per pound. (For completeness, they also say a large onion is 150g and a small is 70g.)

In general if you want to look up information like this, just google "onion nutrition", and there'll be relevant results plus a knowledge panel on the right with a nutrition table, a drop-down to pick serving size, and a link at the bottom to the USDA page that everyone's getting their data from.
