Bagel Calories

October 2, 2008

I love bagels. The taste of a fresh warm bagel is so good, I just can’t resist it. Too bad that means bagel calories as well. But let’s see how many calories are in a bagel and whether you can include it in your diet.

If you are watching you weight, it might be a good idea to skip those bagel calories. Stick with bread calories - that is a slice or too.

If you still want to have a bagel, you should check out the following bagel calories numbers. These numbers refer to a plain bagel (including onions, poppy or sesame):

Now, we are talking here about the bagel calories only. If you butter it or spread cream cheese - that’s no diet. That means extra calories that you don’t really need. Try eating your bagel with a low-fat cottage cheese or just a side of salad. That would keep the bagel calories from not increasing.

You can toast your bagel if you want. There is only a slight difference of a few calories between a regular bagel calories and a toasted one.  The reason is that it is only water that evaporates while the bagel is toasted.

In conclusion, bagel calories can be really tasty. But they’re not so low, are they? So either integrate them in  a full balanced diet, or consider other low calorie options.

Bread Calories

September 4, 2008

There is no general answer for the bread calories question. It has to do with the type of bread you are talking about.

if you are asking about typical white bread calories the answer is around 65-70 calories per slice (approx. 1 oz). However white bread has a relatively low dietary fiber (only 2.4% of its weight). Whole wheat bread calories are just a bit lower than that: it has around 60-65 bread calories per slice and it is high in dietary fiber (7% of the bread’s weight). So whole wheat bread is considered as having a high nutritional value.

Besides the bread calories the whole nutrition values of bread differes from type to type since the different types have a different mix of carbs, fat and protein. Carbs are still the reason for most of the bread calories - at least 50 calories. But if you try the reduced calorie bread, you’ll less than 50 bread calories per slice.
