bagel with cream cheese

About This Food

A bagel with cream cheese is a popular breakfast and brunch item, widely consumed in North America. A serving contains about 378.7 calories. It offers carbohydrates from the bagel and fat from the cream cheese. It also provides some protein. The cream cheese also provides a source of calcium. However, it is also relatively high in sodium. It might not be the best choice for those watching their saturated fat or sodium intake. A reasonable portion, like half a bagel with a moderate amount of cream cheese, could be part of a balanced diet, keeping in mind the recommended daily caloric intake. It can be weight-neutral if consumed in moderation. For a lower-fat option, consider using a reduced-fat cream cheese.
