"Bagels are a delicious food for any time of the day. They come in many varieties and flavors and taste great with a good number of toppings. Bagels were first introduced in 1693 as tribute to a Polish king. Since then they have crossed continents and become a mainstay in America. They're sold in bakeries, grocery stores and coffee shops. Although bagels are good eats, the nutrition of bagels isn't thought about unless you're counting calories. A bagel is a bread product, traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, which is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. It's a New York Style Bagels but in Lebanon. A bagel has zero to very low fat content, but it does contain between 70 and 380 calories. The size of the bagel determines how many calories it has. A mini or small bagel has between 60 and 79 calories, while a large one may have between 300 and 400 calories. When ordering from a coffee shop or bakery, choose a small plain bagel for less calories. Bagels are hearty enough to ward off hunger. If eaten for breakfast, a bagel will keep you full until lunch. The problem comes when you eat more than one serving or one bagel. Remember to count the calories from toppings as well; they increase the amount of calories you consume." - Let's Bagel, Beirut. 2015
