Diet Pumpkin Pie Recipe

It’s about the time for red leaves, cardigans, and hot chocolate. This is a slightly tweaked version of the classic pumpkin pie (without the crust, but still delicious), with 356 calories for the entire pie.

✨Ingredients✨

2 cups of pumpkin puree (180 calories)

4 egg whites (68 calories)

¾ cups zero calorie sweetener (0 calories)

½ cup unsweetened cashew milk (12.5 calories)

1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (12 calories)

2 teaspoon of cinnamon (0 calories)

1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger (0 calories)

1 teaspoon of cloves (0 calories)

1 teaspoon of nutmeg (0 calories)

1 teaspoon of allspice (0 calories)

1 cup of blueberries (84 calories)

✨Directions✨

Preheat the oven to 375°. Grease the pie pan and set aside

Whip the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. Add in the sugar and spices and continue mixing.

In a separate bowl mix the puree with the milk and vanilla extract until smooth.

Add the puree mix to the egg white mixture and fold the two together.

Pour into the pan and top with the blueberries

Bake for 45-50 minutes

Allow to chill for at least 2-4 hours, or better yet overnight, to firm up

OPTIONAL: Top with fat free whipped cream, an extra 15 calories per two tablespoons

Makes 8 slices, each slice is 44.5 calories and has 2.4 grams of protein

Most of my safe foods P2

[180] Weetabix- I feel like most people living outside the US are already familiar with this one, and it’s a bit different from most breakfast cereals, in that it comes in biscuits, rather than individual pieces of small cereal. I usually only use two, crumble them up, and mix in some milk, sweetener, and spices. And it’s filled with protein and fiber, keeping you full for a while afterwards. Three biscuits, about half the size of your whole hand, is 180 calories

[86] Carrot sticks- Good with hummus, sour cream, or any other sort of sauce, carrot sticks are a classic at only 86 cal per cup

[10] Cocoa powder- With a sweet tooth, it sometimes gets difficult to mask the less than pleasant aftertaste of zero calorie sweetener. I find that a good amount of cocoa blends perfectly, and causes most low cal chocolatey recipes to perfectly resemble their original counterparts. One tablespoon of cocoa is 10 calories

[6] FF Reddi Whip- I mostly just use this as a topping. There is absolutely no difference between this one and the other, save for the calorie difference. I wouldn’t recommend Almond Milk Reddi Whip, as most people complain that the canister seems to break almost immediately after the first use. One tablespoon of Fat-Free Reddi Whip is 6 calories

[60-70] Fruit bars- While not being particularly satiating, fruit bars and other frozen foods take forever for me to finish, and during outings they’re a far less caloric alternative to ice cream or frozen yogurt. A single fruit bar is 60-70 calories

[8] Crepini Egg Thins- These are absolutely to die for. I use them mostly for wraps and quesadillas. There are 12 in each package, so even if you ate the entire thing in one sitting, it’d be 96 calories! But for just one, it’ll be 8 calories

[6] Cabbage- Although I despise the taste of cooked cabbage, fresh leaves are a great addition of texture and crunch in tacos, fajitas, and burritos. One medium sized leaf of cabbage is 6 calories

[80] Watermelon- Not much to say here. A juicy summertime delight, full of electrolytes and vitamins, and only 80 calories per cup

[5] Crystal Light Lemonade- These come in packets, each containing enough mix to make two quarts of lemonade. If you plan on only making a cup, I’d recommend using ½ a teaspoon of mix. For an 8 oz serving of lemonade, it’s only 5 calories, in comparison to Simply Light Lemonade, which has 25 calories per 8 oz serving

[40] Pumpkin puree- Wouldn’t recommend consuming straight from the can, but in comparison to other purees for baked goods, it contains far less sugar and calories. I’ve used it mostly to make a fantastic Diet Pumpkin Pie, for which the recipe I’ll post soon, and pumpkin blueberry muffins. There are 84 calories per cup

[100] Rice Krispies- I was somewhat surprised at the deficit in Rice Krispies in comparison to other cereals. Keep in mind I’m referring to the Original Rice Krispies, the Strawberry and Chocolate varieties are 120 and 160 calories respectively, while the normal ones are 100 calories per cup.

Swerve Sweetener- This is frankly a low-cal baking essential. My painfully strong sweet tooth often leads me to indulge in treats with less than ideal nutritional contents. Swerve consists of erythritol, which has about 1 calorie per teaspoon. In comparison to stevia, with it’s strange aftertaste, and granulated sugar, which has more than 15x the calories for the same serving, Swerve (which is a brand that I personally prefer) is quite the investment for people with serious sugar cravings.

[16] Cucumber- Besides they’re crisp, fresh quality, cucumbers are incredibly filling. And while not being as rich in vitamins than other vegetables, it’s only 16 calories for a cup of cucumber, so there’s that.

[50] Turkey slices- I can’t stand it straight from the package, as with most deli meats, but grilling it a bit makes it a hell of a lot better. It’s 50 calories per two slices, so you could also just use one for 25 calories.

[41] Spinach- Pretty unremarkable in terms of taste, but it’s one of the most nutrient dense vegetables, with 2.9 grams of protein per 100 grams. An entire cup of cooked spinach (because this shit shrinks so fast in a pan) is 41 calories

[80] Cod- I absolutely adore fish, and cod is a great substitute for most others, such as tilapia (110 cal per 4 oz) or salmon (158 calories per 4 oz). There are 80 calories per 4 oz (which is about the size of a fillet) of cod.

My Weight Loss Goals

Current Weight- 98-99 lb

Current Height- 5′ 3 1/2’’

Current BMI-17.9 (Lower end of average)

Current Diet Plan- 450-500cal per day, planning to integrate water fasts, which could affect the rate of my weight loss. No particular dietary restrictions except for pork and pork product prohibition, although low sugar and high protein foods are encouraged. I also don’t eat candy anymore.

Goal Weight- 87-88 lb

Goal BMI- 15.4 (Moderately underweight)

With my weight loss I hope to lessen visceral fat, gain more collarbone and facial definition, and have more spindly fingers and wrists, which I believe will make me more attractive. I hope to maintain this size into the new year, and then perhaps begin gaining weight through sports.

Most of my safe foods P1

[90] Chobani No Fat Greek Yogurt- I use this for almost all my cooking; smoothies, breads, dips, etc. Great for making things creamy and amplifying the flavor of cheese, without the excess. I specify the brand because with most other yogurts, the cals per 3/4 cup are usually 10-30 calories more for whatever reason. For 3/4 cup of this yogurt, it’s 90 calories.

[30] Light Sour Cream- I use it for almost everything that I can’t do with No Fat Greek yogurt. There is no taste difference I can discern between the original (60 cal per two tbsp) and the low cal version (30 cal per two tbsp)

[110] Yellow potatoes- Usually for chips (fries), I cut them thinly for the illusion of volume, and bake them to reduce the amount of oil needed. One medium potato contains 110 calories, and I’ll usually have them with light sour cream.

[60] No-Sugar Applesauce- I mostly use this as a butter substitute and for texture in my foods, I never really eat it by itself, since imo it isn’t very satisfying for it’s calories. It’s 60 calories per container, which is about half a cup

[150] Plain Cheerios- Usually as a meal or as a quick snack. It already is a bit sweet, but if you like you can add your choice of fruits. It’s 150 calories for 1 1/2 cups.

[0] Sparkling Ice- Great for your fixing of fizz, and to me taste much better than diet sodas. There is less of that weird aftertaste with other zero sweeteners. Plus it’s less expensive than Diet Coke or Pepsi, @ a dollar per bottle.

[20] Portabella Mushrooms- Delicious all around. It’s a great alternative to bread buns, and they soak up flavor nicely. For a mushroom about the size of your fist, it’s 20 calories.

[17] Egg Whites- Great for almost all types of baking requiring an egg. Most of the calories are stored in the yolk, and I personally don’t find it necessary, as it doesn’t help with the texture or anything like that. For one egg white it’s around 17 calories, give or take.

[5] Gum- Helpful for warding off binges, a stick of gum is usually 5 calories.

[0] Unsweetened tea- Black, mint, green, lavender, chamomile, and many more. Whichever you prefer depends on your personal tastes. I find chamomile to be the best, although black tea keeps me up better. Any flavor cup of tea is 0 calories.

[90] Tuna- For whatever reason tuna seems to be a very polarizing food. You either love it or hate it. I can’t get enough of it, and @ 90 calories per can, it’s quite a fill.

[30] Almond milk- With milk alternatives, I find almond milk to be a clear winner. Hemp milk tastes of soggy clothing, coconut milk and oat milk aren’t worth the calories, although soy is a reasonable investment if you plan on drinking it plain. It’s 30 calories per cup, which is awesome in comparison to 1 or 2% cow milk.

[84] Blueberries- I dislike eating them on their own, but in a puree, pancakes, muffins, cookies, and smoothies, it’s pretty damn good, @ 84 calories per cup.

[54] Strawberries- I find strawberries are best paired with bananas or other berries. It has a great tangy taste that I often use in jams and salads. It’s 54 calories per a cup of chopped strawberries

[63] Grapes- One of the few fruits I prefer consuming on their own, grapes aren’t really useful for cooking, but good as a quick burst of sugar. They’re 63 calories per cup

[30] Fat Free Cream Cheese- Really only useful as a thickener, spread or in cheesecake recipes, it’s pretty bad on it’s own or as a dip. For two tbsp you’re looking @ 30 cal per oz or two tbsp

[150] Oatmeal- I wouldn’t really recommend it for cooking, as it’s quite a lot of calories for not a lot of food. As a cereal, it’s pretty filling though, @ 150 cal per 1/2 cup
