okay its just with my work at the moment putting a chicken breast into 2 wholewheat bagels is far easyer than brining rice or potato etc and also is a nice change, im guessing an average sized bagel is around 40g carbs right ?

That's the great thing about this sport; new research becomes available, disproves previous widely accepted 'gospel', and we have a whole new debate!!
As I said earlier - there are 'healthier' choices. Oats, sweet potato etc. will generally have more vitamins, minerals, and fiber than a bagel. But strictly in terms of a carb source for the purpose of bodybuilding? Negligible differences IMO.
Personally, I base my choices on the goal at hand. If I were 'bulking' (as the OP stated he is), I'd include bagels, pastas, bread, etc. (within reason). On a strict cut (as I'm doing now), I'd limit these choices severely. That's just my personal preference.
'Clean' eating is more of a health/longevity thing than a bodybuilding thing, IMHO. Having said that, I am not a full-blown IIFYM guy which is pretty evident from some of my other posts. I don't believe pop tarts and ice cream have any (set) place in a bodybuilding diet, but I also don't feel dieting should be boring, monotonous, or least of all, grueling and painful.
