Not surprised to see you give an opinion like that.
I'm from New Orleans, where REAL bread is served.

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 -

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.
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

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 -
