Mine has a gingersnap pecan crust.  I'm not leaving that on the plate.

Thanksgiving is once a year.  Have a slice of pumpkin pie with crust and whip cream and be good the next day!!!!!!

[Sublime Saumya]

Nobody in my family has any food allergies or dietary restrictions at present. Me and my sibling fight when one of us takes a major portion of the filling and our mom then obviously frowns. But this is good to know, I now have reason to continue hogging on more of the filling.

It’s smart to be aware of nutrition, even on a holiday but....

if one begins to be calorie conscious juuuuust as the meal 

is ending, it’s way too late.

That is so funny!  I am making one tonight for tomorrow's dinner and I had planned to just eat the filling since I don't eat grains anymore.  Good to know!

Hi @emmysmom. I'm the same way. Desserts mess up my good control. I don't eat desserts of any kind anymore. Simply not worth the aftermath of high blood sugars. Funny, I don't miss them anymore. I think of them like smoking. Just as lethal for some diabetics.

I'll take the crust and leave the filling.  So give me crust please with a small (BIG!) dab of whipped cream!  I would never waste calories on pumpkin pie when there are chocolate, coconut cream, butterscotch, apple, cherry, buttermilk, black bottom, and boston cream (yes I know) pies out there to eat!  

Pumpkin?  No way!!!!!

Yes, the calories are in the crust but I don't think about any of that on Thanksgiving.  It's the furthest thing from my mind.  I eat what I want and enjoy my day.  

[QueenDanceALot]

I'm not a calorie counter, but I do eat a healthy diet most of the time.

So I just don't worry about what I eat on Thanksgiving.  Have what I want and maybe a second meal of leftovers.

No harm, no foul.
