A donut or bagel for breakfast?
Which is a lower calorie breakfast--a bagel with cream cheese or a chocolate frosted donut? Just from a calorie point of view, you may be better off with the donut--especially if you are planning to eat a regular meal or two later in the day.
“The bagel has more iron than, say, a chocolate frosted donut—35 percent of the Daily Value as opposed to 4 percent. And the cream cheese contains 10 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin A. But a plain bagel with cream cheese from Dunkin’ Donuts also contains 550 calories and 13.5 grams of saturated fat—more than half the saturated fat that should be averaged in a day by someone following a 2,000-calorie diet. The chocolate frosted donut, on the other hand, has just 200 calories—and only 2 grams of saturated fat.”
