High in fiber, calcium, and iron and low in fat and sugar, these bagels taste good and pack nutritional value. They're soft and moist and lighter than say, chewy and bland plain cafeteria-fare bagels. You don't need cream cheese to make these palatable. Although I didn't like them as much toasted because I found them drier, you might like them better that way. Kurt had already eaten two by the time I tried one - the morning after I bought them - so this healthy staple is also hungry-husband-approved.

If you want your food to both fill you and go to work for you, it's a good sign when whole grain flour, water, and flaked wheat are the first three ingredients. What comes fourth is sugar. Added sugars supply seven grams of sugars in each bagel. That means 28 calories per serving are from added sugar. According to the American Heart Association, women should consume no more than 100 calories from added sugar per day and for men it's no more than 150 calories. So much of what we each contains sugar but in my opinion, if you don't drink pop or eat dessert most days, you don't need to worry about the sugar content in these bagels.
According to WebMD, men and women need at least 56 and 46 grams, respectively, of protein daily and each bagel has 10 grams. So this is a good choice if you don't eat meat. If you care about sodium, there is 17 percent of your daily recommended intake in each serving. Two of the 19 ingredients are low-grade preservatives - calcium propionate and sorbic acid.
In the future if these bagels are on sale when I do my grocery shopping I'll buy them. Because they're a great source of energy and tissue repair for athletes, I'll strongly recommend them to our 2015 Hood to Coast team, the Jogging Juggernauts.
