Bagels. With their doughy interior and crunchy, crisp exterior when you toast it just perfectly. What's not to love? Pair with your favorite topping and you've got a carb match - made in heaven. 

Then its hits. How has it only been an hour and I'm STARVING? Which leads me to believe bagels are empty calories. All of them.  Short hair only eats the whole wheat/grain one's, so what gives?  

Answer: Cream Cheese.  All gooey and delicious when spread LIBERALLY over both sides, sending you into a dough oblivion even professionals can't eat their way out of. 

Am I missing something?  With the equivalent five times as much as bread, I shouldn't be hungry till next Thursday.  Just saying.




 After I discovered this I stopped buying/eating my doughy delicious friends.  Obviously if I need 2 (whole) bagels to get me to lunch, it a bit excessive, no?

Recently I toyed with bagels and peanut butter, cuz everything is better with PB, says everyone. Result? By golly I'm full! Who knew leaving off the empty calorie, fat laden cheese was the culprit!  So I gave bagels another chance to woo my heart digestive system  today.  No hunger pains till lunch, score!
