What's so great about bagels? They taste good, and most have no fat (before
the cream cheese is added, that is). But it's time for a reality check. An
average

bagel, not even the largest NY bagel, is equivalent to three to four slices
of bread, or 45-60 grams of carbohydrate. No wonder people think bagels
raise

their glucose!

 

But you can have your bagel and eat it too! Here's some common-sense tips to
enjoy this breakfast staple: 

 

list of 3 items

. Cut bagels in two and eat just half at a time. 

. Use light cream cheese spreads and spread lightly 

. Consider low-sugar jam or jelly instead of cream cheese if fat and
calories are a concern
