Help!! I'm here at work and forgot my WW books!! Does anyone know the approximate points for a plain bagel and regular cream cheese? I got it from the vending machine and there is no info!!

Try to remember this website www.dwlz.com and go to the SITE MAP and then to RESTAURANTS. She has several chain bagel places and you'll be able to get a good close estimate for yours. I'd say at least 5-6 for the bagel and 2-3 for the cream cheese.

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!)

Weigh your bagel on the postage scale!




I thought I was the only one who did things like that! See smart minds think a like!
