There are some bagels usually found in the super market bread isle that make me think of the following saying. It is similar to this: "If it looks like a duck and talks like a duck and walks like a duck, then it must be a duck.''
This makes me think of some fairly new products which are called bagel thins, and sometimes lite bagels and other times low calorie bagels. Here is my take on them.
If you look at them through the clear package, they are shaped like a very thin bagel. If you touch them, they feel like a piece of soft bread. I have purchased two brands and they do not have the taste or quality of a bagel. You can take it out of the package and fold it in half . The calories are between 100 and 110 each.
A MUCH BETTER SOLUTION
Lender's original bagels have the qualities of a "real bagel" and are only 140 calories. They are usually found in the freezer section.
Another solution to enjoying a bagel that IS a bagel would be to purchase your favorite brand of bagels and eat a half. If the calories are not listed, weigh the bagel on a food scale. Most bagels excluding the cinnamon and other sweet ones like raisin are 80 calories per ounce.
If the bagel weighs 3 1/2 ounces, the half would be only 140 calories.
Hint: Savour each bite, and spread it with about a tablespoon of lite or whipped cream cheese.
