Bagels: my downfall

I eat bagels all the time. Hasn't hurt my progress.0

Haven't had a bagel in months...now this thread is making me want to eat a nice fresh one with butter..Mmmmmmmm. Just been keeping calorie dense stuff like that out of temptation for now.
Used to bake them too as a 20-something back when. Nothing like firing up the boiler and huge gas ovens at 4:00am and cranking out hundreds of bagels for hungry people wanting breakfast on the go! Back then I could eat as many as I liked with cream cheese, eggs, bacon...potatoes too...washed down with OJ and coffee...we burned off so many calories working in the restaurant that I was rail thin no matter what I ate!
The good old days.
I am going to get one as a treat someday soon.
Thank God I've just eaten dinner....just saying ;P0 -
Oh, I hear you! I have to stay away from refined carbs, or I'll just eat them. And the calories do add up.
I find that corn tortillas and pupusas don't have that same effect. I can eat a couple little ones and be satisfied.
Hmmm...maybe I should have pupusas with my eggs for breakfast.
Maybe get some mini-bagels for the freezer, and pull them out one at a time for special treats.
I get them every time I go to a swap meet in LA.0 -
I'm having a bagel right now. I have one several times a week. It hasn't caused any issues.
As long as you fit it in to your calorie goal, you're fine.0 -
I like the Thomas Mini Bagels. they have good bagel taste and texture. I also get some asiago cheese bagels that are delicious, but 360 calories apiece, so I only use ½ at a time.
Don't exclude bagels, just fit them in!!!!0 -
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 filling0 -
In my opinion, the only way this whole thing will work long term is if we don't deprive ourselves of the things we love.
If you can't see yourself never eating a bagel again, learn how to fit them in.0 -
When I first started losing weight, my daily breakfast was usually: 1/2 pumpernickel bagel with 1 tbsp whipped cream cheese + scrambled egg/egg whites with spinach + some fresh fruit. I'd opt for reasonably sized real bagels and have a half at a time as part of a balanced breakfast.0

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.0 -
Put some peanut butter on dem bagels!0

Warm asiago bagels are the best.0

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.0 -
Eat da bagel! Just make sure it fits your macros :happy:
I just had a maple french toast bagel this morning..sooo worth it.0 -
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.0

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.0 -
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!0

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.0

I live in NY! The bagels here are monstrous. Closer to 600cals each. I usually eat half0 -
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 limit0

Im drooling at the thought of a cinnamon and raisin bagel with low fat cream cheese and strawberry jam. Wonder if i still have any in the freezer? Scuse me a minute, brb! ????0
