I bought some WW english muffins and bagels. the english muffin is like 100 calories and bagel I think 15o calories for the entire thing. so do I need to eat just half for a starch or can I eat the entire thing for a starch?

I am hoping the entire thing, yummy with a egg at breakfast.

It depends on who you ask... And also what else is in the muffins/bagels....

LAWL isn't dependant on counting calories.. You also have to consider fat content, sodium, carbs and fiber.

The Thomas 100 cal muffins, according to the on-line dietician, can count as 1 starch for the whole thing.. But at my COD, they were totally against that...

If you count them as 1S, you can only eat them no more than a couple times a week...

On the new version of the plan (referred to as Gold2),
1/2 of a 1 ounce bagel equals 1 starch...that's a mighty small bagel.
Dan's right on the English muffin - 1 light English muffin equals 1 starch, but with a regular english muffin, one half of the muffin equals 1 starch. All these breads should have at least 3g of fiber in them.

My older/regular gold book says 1/2 a small Lenders Bagel equals one starch
1 oz bagel = 1 starch; 1/2 english muffin equals 1 starch.

And you should not have both starches at the same meal, you should only eat one.

If you post the nutritionals for the bagels, one of us with LA Online access will send it into the Dietician.

I'm on the thinking that 1/2 a Bagel would be one starch, but you never know what the Dietcian would say.

Someone just inquired about starches a few days ago in this thread, have a peek for some info:

FYI to those of you who have a Meijer in your town...Thomas English Muffins are Buy 2 get 2 Free...

I am on the Gold plan, and under Bagel other it is 2 oz. or 1/2. I weigh the bagel because they all vary and look for one that is whole grain, lo-cal. Good Luck.
