What changes the calories
- Bagel size varies a lot, from a 26 g mini bagel at 69 calories to a 131 g large bagel at 346 calories, and many bakery bagels are bigger still.
- Spreads like cream cheese, butter or peanut butter can add as many calories as the bagel itself, depending on how thickly they're applied.
- Toasting a bagel doesn't meaningfully change its calories, though it does reduce its weight slightly as moisture evaporates.
- Sweet varieties with added sugar, dried fruit or cheese toppings usually carry more calories than a plain, onion, poppy or sesame bagel.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh your bagel on a kitchen scale rather than guessing the size, since bakery and deli bagels are often larger than a standard large bagel.
- Log the bagel and each spread or filling as separate entries so cream cheese, butter or sandwich fillings aren't missed.
- In BerryFit, snap a photo of your bagel with its toppings, then adjust the bagel's weight if you know it for a more accurate entry.
