How many calories in a bagel?

Answer by  vietnamgirls (1177)

A large bagel(4 1/2 inches in diameter) has approximately 300 calories before adding butter or cream cheese. A mini bagel, 2 1/2 inches in diameter has approximately 70 calories.

It depends on the bagel of course. Some have 'the works' and some have cheese. Either way it's significantly more than you'd expect. Next time you're at the store read the nutrition labels on several brands and see how they match up with whole wheat bread, as an example. Then make your decision.
