      a) weigh bagel
      b) cut out hole
      c) reweight bagel
      d) new weigh divided by old weight = x%
      e) Subtract x% calories

      ^^This....or you could just record the whole bagel and sacrifice some cals.....

      Not enough calories to make up for the time and effort of taking all of the delicious, chewy center out of the bagel.

      Step 1: hollow out bagel
      Step 2: send to food nutrition lab to have it analzyed
      Step 3: send it to another lab to have the first results verified
      Step 4: eat bagel.

      anything else will be completely wrong and will lead to massive weight gain and possibly even armageddon.

      Eat half a bagel instead?

      Or can you get mini bagels where you are? I used to have two mini bagels with whatever for lunch. I think bagels are more filling than other bread due to the high protein.

      I hate wasting food, so I would just either eat half or get the mini bagels instead. If you're making a sandwich and don't want to eat it open-faced, then just get the thin bagels.

      Weigh it before and after, do some math and viola.

      Another important question is...

      ...how many calories are you going to log for this work of hollowing out the bagel?

      Everyone says this book was so great, but I got about halfway through and gave up...didn't get to this part I guess....

      I don't get the point of hollowing out a bagel? You're just eating crust? Might as well not eat it at all.

      Nature's Own sales a thin slice bagel that is only 110 cals.

      I'd rather eat the inside.

      Why not just eat half? I've never understood why people do this

      A flute without holes, is not a flute. A doughnut without a hole, is a Danish.. Whats a bagel with out a hole?

      I'm with Cliff. Either don't eat it at all or eat the whole thing and put a little extra work in at the gym.
