Bagel weights vary wildly, so you have to have a ballpark on how big yours is before you can even BEGIN to estimate points. A 3-point bagel is only 2 ounces--think Lender's or similar brands (not very big, are they?!). Chains like Einstein's, Au Bon Pain, etc., generally serve bagels that are 5-8 oz., so watch out. If you're at work and you have a mailroom, ask the staff there if they mind you weighing your bagel on the postal scale. (I'm not kidding--it works!)
