Dessert is not usually part of a healthy meal for dieters. But on certain special occasions, like Thanksgiving, you may want to enjoy a slice of pumpkin pie. To keep your weight loss program on track use these tips and recipes to reduce calories in pumpkin pie.
Calories in Pumpkin Pie
There are about 275 - 300 calories in pumpkin pie. Traditionally prepared pies that you make at home and commercially prepared pumpkin pies have roughly the same number of calories.
But remember that a single serving of pie is only a small slice. If your pie pan is 9 inches, you should be able to get 8 single servings out of the pie. If your pie pan is 8 inches in diameter, then you should get six single servings out of the pie.
In addition to the pie calories, many people add whipped cream to their pie.
The fluffy topping contains 8 calories per tablespoon. That doesn't sound like much, but a level tablespoon of whipped cream isn't very much.
