    Cream cheese plus strawberries (MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)
    Toasted with butter and honey
    Get a crazy flavored bagel and just butter or cream cheese.

    Good luck with your journey!!

    Since you can't do high-fat stuff and can't do cream cheese, what about smoked salmon on a savory bagel or mashed banana and honey on a sweet bagel?

    I would like to second BrainyBurro's words. Keep up the great work! Your health is worth it!! :happy:

    OP, congrats on having the strength to overcome your ED. You've got this!!

    As for bagels, I usually eat the Thomas cinnamon mini bagels. either plain or toasted with some butter. I actually prefer them plain.

    Most other bagels I use a flavored cream cheese or strawberry jam OR put turkey and cheese on.

    Good luck!

    I'm really ignorant about EDs and recovery so I hope it's not stupid to suggest this. But could you ask if the low or non-fat cream cheese could be an exception for your bagel? It's actually higher in protein so you could look at it like high protein cream cheese?:laugh: If taking detours is a big no-no, then maybe cottage cheese, a little butter, scrambled egg, or egg whites. Good luck. You should be really proud of yourself for doing this!:flowerforyou:

    congrats on moving past your ED! i applaud your efforts :)

    try avocado...or guacamole....just a little bit. it's a healthy fat and in moderation provides many benefits.

    Good luck on your recovery!!! I love just a little butter. Or pesto. If Jelly or Jam is too sugary for you, I like to put strawberries or blueberries in the blender and spread on bagels or toast.

    Everyone has already suggested everything I would have suggested (I usually eat them with either margarine, cream cheese, or peanut butter - sorry I'm no help there!) but I just want to echo everyone's sentiments that I am so happy for you that you are on the road to recovery, and I wish you good luck and good health! <3

    Congratulations to you for taking your life back from your ED! :flowerforyou:

    I put a lot of random food on bagels. I have made sandwiches with cream cheese, sliced hard boiled egg and spinach. You could probably substitute hummus or something else for the cream cheese. When you are ready for peanut butter...an everything bagel with peanut butter and sliced strawberries is heaven!

    already lots of great suggestions and I’m now craving a bagel! :)

    I would go with guacamole and turkey to make a little sandwich, Honey, and Goat cheese sounds amazing!

    they have whipped PB now and they are super yummy and not terrible for you!

    Good luck and congrats for stepping out of your comfort zone and getting healthy! You can do it :)

    If melted cheddar works with your dietary restrictions, I would go with that. You could also do bacon and tomato,

    Good for you, honey. Keep up the great work.

    Is the dietary restriction dairy, or just no cream cheese? Sometimes I put cottage cheese and some cinammon on a toasted bagel. I didn't see anyone mention that. Maybe I'm weird. :) Also, you could cut up a banana, put that on first, and then top with cottage cheese. Good luck, and congratulations!

    I second the comments about protein. I rarely eat bagels other than to use them for sandwiches so I'd suggest turkey or chicken with a little bit of the condiment of your choice for some flavor. Maybe make it a BLT. That would be yummy too.

    Hummus is for sure a good choice as is the avacado.

    Best of luck!
