    Oh my god, my most favourite thing is a cinnamon bagel with almond butter.
    I allow myself 1-2 a week - they are too delicious not too.

    I love bagels... NYC bagels are the BEST... fit them in and enjoy them! Unless you're competing, there's no need to deny yourself.
    I take mine with low fat cream cheese and some strawberry jelly.

    Try Thomas' bagel thins. They are only 110 calories each. I eat one every work day with some Laughing Cow Cream Cheese. Together, you're looking at 175 calories total. I'm a big bagel person and though nothing can replace a true blue bagel, these aren't half bad.

    Make room for the bagel. Eat the bagel. There are no bad foods.

    I don't think I've ever actually eaten a bagel before... Is that weird? Might be my next mission. Some of these flavors sound reeeally good right now.

    Being in New York- the Mecca for bagels, it's impossible not to find a bagel store on every other block. Which is why they're great for refeeds. I like to eat a few whenever I refeed, but haven't in awhile. I just got reminded! Fresh and hot out of the oven- no butter required!

    I eat a bagel every single day and it doesn't seem to have any negative affect on me. Why would it? If it fits in your calories goal, eat it.

    I have bagels practically every day for my lunch!! Yum, love them so much... If you're trying to lose weight then it really is calories in vs calories out... I just fit them into my daily goal :happy:

    EDIT - also, bagels are only typically 250 cals each! Which isn't at all bad considering they're quite filling :)

    I live in NY! The bagels here are monstrous. Closer to 600cals each. I usually eat half :)

    Bagels are one of my favorite foods too! Especially the chocolate chip ones from einsteins...mmm. Anyways, everything in moderation. I don't see why eating a bagel a few times a week would slow you down at all, so long as it's inside your calorie limit :)

    I eat a whole grain bagel every single morning for breakfast. I had no idea they were "bad" for you.

    This morning I made a breakfast sandwich :D Bagel, laughing cow mozzarella, egg whites, spinach, and turkey. It came out to 300 calories. Really filling, really tasty, plenty of calories left for the rest of the day!

    I also have bagel thins that I'll eat if I'm craving one later in the night and am low on calories.

    That sounds great! I normally do egg whites and cheddar cheese on mine!
