Bagel Nutrition Facts

A medium-sized plain bagel contains around 277 calories, primarily from carbohydrates. This makes them a significant source of energy. However, the total calorie count can increase substantially depending on the toppings used. Spreads like cream cheese, butter, or avocado, and fillings such as eggs or deli meats, will add considerable calories, fat, and protein. For those using a calorie calculator, it's important to account for these additions to get an accurate count and understand the full meal's nutritional impact.

Macronutrient Profile

Bagels are known for being dense in carbohydrates, with a medium bagel providing about 55 grams. They are also a moderate source of protein, offering around 11 grams, which contributes to satiety. They are typically very low in fat, with less than 2 grams per serving. It's important to be mindful of the sodium content; a single bagel can contain nearly 20% of the recommended daily intake. The fiber content is modest at about 2.5 grams, but choosing a whole wheat bagel can increase this amount.

Vitamins And Minerals

Since most bagels are made with enriched flour, they are a good source of several essential B vitamins and minerals. Enriched flour is fortified with nutrients that are lost during processing. This means a plain bagel can provide a significant amount of your daily needs for thiamine, niacin, and folate. It is also an excellent source of iron and manganese. These nutrients play crucial roles in energy metabolism and maintaining overall health.
