Whole grain bagels are considered to be more nutrient dense. Plain bagels are less nutrient dense. The reason for this is because plain bagels have refined flour and sugar in them.

Depends on the bagel. An 'average' bagel (such as a Dempsters bagel) is four servings of grains.
Donuts are fried, so have higher fat content than bagels, which are boiled then baked. Generally, a bagel made with white flour, then loaded with butter or cream cheese (fat) would not provide much better nutrition than a donut. But a bagel made with whole grain flour, eaten with very little butter along with an egg or hard cheese and fruit would be a healthy breakfast.

There are several edible items that are classified as a nutrient dense food according to the dietary guidelines for Americans. In addition to whole grain items like brown rice, bread, and wheat tortillas, others are legumes such as pinto beans and black-eyed peas as well as bananas.
Eggs are not a grain. According to the revised USDA food pyramid, they are a protein.
Vitamin B
A whole grain bagel is generally better for you than a white bagel because it contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals due to the presence of whole grains. The higher fiber content aids in digestion and helps maintain steady blood sugar levels, while the nutrients in whole grains can contribute to overall health. In contrast, white bagels are often made from refined flour, which lacks these beneficial components and can lead to quicker spikes in blood sugar.
A Lender's whole grain plain bagel contains 490 mg of sodium.
The thing about whole grain that makes it nutrient-rich is that it's "whole". If there was a part of it that had all the nutrients, then they would separate it and sell us that part. They've been separating it and selling us only a part of the grain for a hundred years. Do you think they're intentionally discarding the nutrient-rich part and selling us the junk part ? There would be no reason to do that, because if the other part had all the nutrients in it, then they could just switch the parts and double the price. The grain has one nutrient in this part, another nutrient in that part, and a different nutrient in another part. If you throw anything away, you throw away something that would be good for you. That's why the recommendation of the nutritionists is to eat the "whole grain". It's not to reduce the producers' processing costs. It's to get all the nutrients in the grain into you.
The germ is the nutrient-rich inner part of a kernel of grain. It contains essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats, making it a valuable component of whole grains.
