And landing at #17 on this list from New York?

The beloved bagel with cream cheese. While it is tasty and satisfying, that carb load and fatty cream cheese spread certainly create a challenge for those trying to lose weight. Though in that scenario, you would figure a greasy pizza or a load of pasta with meatballs and cheese would create a much more 'loathsome' challenge for those trying to watch those calories!
