Does a bagel have sugar in?
9yr
No sugar at breakfast
  • Lazy_Nash I think it doesn't , but to be sure check in the internet
  • Queen_Ashley No😂
  • Nainiac Actually most bagels are made with added sugar.... For instance a Panera plain bagel has brown sugar in it. Dunkin and Einstein also add sugar. I was bummed and surprised to learn that myself!!

  • annefood Hey @fitorious ! Have you tried drinking sparkling water with pieces of fruit in it? That helps me when I'm craving something sugary. Also, check out the Avoid Sugar Guidebook...
  • GGShah I've never tried vinegar, but what has worked for me is to have sparkling water always around. I realized my soda addiction was really about the fizz. Now I've just gotten creative with what I put...
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter I definitely agree with @annefood! If you have any favorite teas, you can drink those hot or cold.

  • JoanneG I totally agree with @annefood. When I have a big sweets day, I crave them for the next week. But when I try to avoid them from the morning, like having eggs for breakfast instead of a muffin, I'm...

  • annefood Such a great way to add veggies! Nice @NoaMashiah
  • Philippa Yummy!! Looks great.
  • IEatWell This looks yummy. I like mixing lots of fresh veggies with fish or meat. I realize I don't need as much protein to be satisfied.

  • Philippa Ha I figured. The worst. Avoiding it.
  • annefood @Philippa yeah unfortunately nutella is not the best when it comes to nutrition. If you're craving a spoonful of something, try a spoonful of peanut butter. Not the same chocolatey sweetness, but...
