A bagel contains considerably less fat than whole-wheat bread. On the other hand there are considerably more carbs (and calories) so you definitely get more bang for your buck in a bagel – leading to an increased sense of fullness!!! For example, a bagel contains 24% or total carbs, whereas bread contains 4%.Luckily, both bread and bagels are low in saturated fat, contain no cholesterol and are both high in selenium (antioxident). Interestingly, bagels are low in sugar, and bread is high in sugar. Just don’t have too many as all them carbs will turn into fat if you don’t burn them off!
Hows that for a useful ‘slice’ of information!
