About 165 cal, 13g protein, 24g carbohydrates, 0.5g fat, 0mg cholesterol

 *Side Note: When you purchase whole wheat bagels, make sure under the ingredient list the FIRST ingredient is in fact 100% whole wheat. A lot of bagels label themselves as wheat bagels, but are in reality just disguised enriched flour- which is not what you want.

I used spinach and mushrooms because that’s what I had on hand, you can substitute those veggies for whatever you like or even add a slice of turkey bacon into your eggs or up the amount of egg whites you want to use. This is just a good foundation to build your personalized breakfast bagel off of. You know how many calories, and how much protein your body needs and therefore you know how many grams carbohydrates to add to it (twice as much) so mix up your own plan.

Yummy! Give it a try!
