The curse of the BAGEL

If you love them - eat them! They can easily be accommodated in a healthy diet. I have a bagel or two every once in awhile!0

Montreal bagels for the win.
Yeah okay. If that's what you want to believe. Run along now.atypicalsmith wrote: »atypicalsmith wrote: »I've never liked bagels; way too tough and chewy and always seemed odd to me. Then I found out they were boiled in water and understood why they were that way.

The Wegman's jalapeno cheddar bagels I get are (supposedly) 300 calories with 14g protein per 4 oz. bagel. Most of them are actually between 4.3 and 4.5 oz, so they end up being about 330-350 each. I don't think that's a high calorie breakfast. They don't need any cream cheese. I just pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds to warm & soften them a little.
They might be higher calorie than that, but it's not "off" enough to hurt my progress. I'm actually losing faster than I expected.0 -

May have to look at exercise to fit it into weight loss.0 -

I am tring 1/2 plain bagel today! Seem satisfied for now. I cut on dinner cal to fit in the half bagel.0 -
I'm sorry but I'm getting good tired of seeing it and not knowing what it means, what does DH mean? Watch it be something so stupidly easy to figure out.
As far as your bagels go, I have no advice because I live in NYC and the only substitute for a bagel allowed here is a different flavor bagel.
Hear, hear!
*am not from NY*
Yeah, did not think I would find a replacement for Bagels. Working at this from other angels to see if a half bagel once in a while will keep me from loosing weight. Just need to watch cal onthose days better and/or exercise more maybe.

1/2 a bagel is a great way to moderate that! You should be able to fit that in just fine...occasionally anyway! :-) You also could try telling yourself you can have them once a week but not everyday. Or just enjoy the 1/2 you are eating!

Nope. Sesame seed bagels from St-Viateur or Fairmount.
...The great debate continues.
I like sesame seed bagels too. Gee I thought the picture was salt too ... like on pretzels.0 -

Thats great ... I may need to curb my cravings a bit so I dont eat my calories for the day and add 1 or 2 bagels on top ruining my day.0 -
I am cutting right now, and I still eat bagels about three times a week and have no issue with losing about a pound per week…
why not just fit it into your day?0 -

so what? If she stays in a deficit and hits her macro/micro minimums for the day, what does it matter?0 -

So sorry about the timing ... it just hit like a ton of bricks ... my craving! I have messed up more than a couple days with these bagels.0 -
Oh fresh New York bagels... I miss you so.
I know nothing of this Montreal nonsense.
Bread? Meh. You can get great bread all over the Northeast. I miss that too.0 -

I have been getting mini bagels, they are around 100 calories for one. If I get a regular bagel I only eat half--usually the top since that's where the goodies are. I don't have them often because I need to watch my carbs but they are worth the treat to work it into my daily allotment.0

It's well known that NY'ers sneak up to Montreal for bagels and the lox and crème cheese, not to mention the Montreal smoked meat. Your just in denial.mamapeach910 wrote: »Oh fresh New York bagels... I miss you so.

Yeah, I don't know. I'm pretty sure if you want real bread, you have to go to Europe. European bread puts anything in North America to shame.0 -

I live about three hours from NOLA and it is known for a lot of things, but bread is usually not in my top five list …..0 -
