OMG IM DYING FOR A BAGEL!!!

im sooo craving carbs.

someone either tell me its OK to have one.
or talk me off the ledge lol

I had a special K strawberry bar for breakfast (90 calories).

I just had a very small salad (just lettuce) with half a packet of Kens fat free italian dressing (approx 10 calories since i used half)

I'll have a smart ones pizza for dinner 370 calories (7 points)

I usually eat the weight watchers bagels (2 points) with weight watchers cream cheese (1 point). If you toast it, you can't really tell the difference!

---

that sounds yummy!!!!!

Fatty McFatty right here says go for it!!!!! lol

like one of the other brides said - hollow it out.. or just eat half of one... save the other for tomorrow.

hollowing it out takes out the best part! lol

I say go for the bagel. I swear and I always say this I am truely a fat kid at heart. I LOVE food lol. I have found that if I am craving something and don't have it I end up eating something else bad to satisfy the craving. So I say go for the bagel, just do the low fat cc!

youre right!

im gonna go for the low carb bagel with low fat cc and eat half and try to make someone else in my office eat the other half so its not an option lol

Are bagels healthy?
Many people can’t resist the taste of a hot, fresh bagel in the morning. However, bagels are not as healthy as some people claim. Here are three reasons why bagels might not be the healthiest choice.


High in calories: Bagels tend to be high in calories. The average bagel has around 300 calories, with some having quite a bit more than that. How many calories a bagel has depends on the type of bagel you eat (plain, wheat, blueberry, cinnamon raisin, etc.) and the size of the bagel. The average plain bagel has the same amount of carbohydrates as 3 or 4 slices of bread (an average slice has about 90 calories). But the likelihood of you eating that many slices of bread is unlikely. However, with bagels, people often have more than one because they like the taste so much. So, people end up consuming a lot more calories than they think and therefore eat more calories during the day than they otherwise would.


Unhealthy toppings: The second problem is that most people don’t eat bagels plain. They add unhealthy toppings that are high in saturated fat and calories, such as cream cheese, butter, ham, bacon and egg on their bagels. Those toppings make the bagel even more unhealthy. Here is an example of a commonly eaten bagel:
A Dunkin’ Donuts plain bagel with plain cream cheese has almost 500 calories. It also has 9.5 grams of saturated fat, which is 50% of the recommended daily value (RDV) for someone on a 2,000 calorie diet. Getting 25% of the calories and 50% of the saturated fat that you are recommended to get in a day from one breakfast item, isn’t good.



Low in vitamins, minerals & fiber: Plain bagels are not very high in nutrients. Some of the other varieties are better, but almost all are low in fiber, which results in the starches in the bread being quickly converted to sugar. This will give you quick energy, but it will not be sustained energy. This means your energy level will ebb faster and you will be hungry again sooner than if you had consumed a fiber rich food, such as 100% whole grain bread. This can result in you consuming more calories during the day.

not gonna lie...i was craving a bagel yesterday so i got one... 1/2 scooped with low fat veggie tuna...

I say go for it... one bagel wont kill you... but then again i always cave for my cravings.. its sooo bad...

i gave in!

low carb plain bagel scooped out. with very very very little low fat cream cheese

Crashing - I'm a little late, but I was going to suggest getting a mini-bagel - same taste but half the calories
