Approximate values for 1 standard slice (about 130 g), plain, no cream.
Pumpkin pie calories by portion
How much pie you get depends on who cut it. A thin sliver and a generous holiday wedge both get called a slice, and that alone swings the number by more than 150 calories.
| Portion | Approx. amount | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Pumpkin pie | 100 g | ~245 kcal |
| Thin slice | about 90 g | ~220 kcal |
| Standard slice | one eighth of a 9 inch pie, 130 g | ~320 kcal |
| Large slice | one sixth of a pie, 155 g | ~380 kcal |
| Standard slice with whipped cream | 130 g plus a spoon | ~370 kcal |
| Filling only, no crust | about 100 g | ~160 kcal |
Built from about 245 kcal per 100 g for a classic custard and crust pie. Skipping the crust cuts roughly 100 kcal a slice. A generous dollop of whipped cream adds 50 to 80.
Why pumpkin pie calories vary
- The crust: it is mostly flour and butter or shortening, so it carries most of the fat. A filling only slice is roughly a third lighter.
- The slice size: cut into six or into ten, the same pie gives slices from 90 g to 160 g.
- Sweetened condensed milk or cream: richer custards push past 250 kcal per 100 g, lighter evaporated milk versions sit lower.
- The topping: whipped cream, maple drizzle and candied pecans each add 50 kcal or more on top.
This is where photo apps slip. A slice looks the same whether the filling is made with cream or with evaporated milk, and the whipped cream melts into the plate. Saying "pumpkin pie with whipped cream" gives the count something real to work with.

Pumpkin pie is usually the lightest of the holiday pies. Pecan runs closer to 500 a slice and apple pie a la mode lands near 550, so of the three this is the one to reach for if you want dessert without wrecking the day.
Can you eat pumpkin pie on a diet
Yes. At about 320 calories a slice, pumpkin pie fits most days if you plan the rest of the plate around it. Pumpkin itself is low in calories and brings fiber, vitamin A and potassium, so the filling is the good part.
- Have one slice, plated, instead of grazing the pie tin
- Go light on the whipped cream, or skip it
- Eat the filling and leave some of the crust if you want to trim 100 kcal
- Log it honestly. One slice will not undo a steady calorie deficit
4 ways to lighten a slice of pumpkin pie
- Go crustless: a crustless pumpkin custard saves roughly 100 kcal and most of the fat.
- Use evaporated milk, not condensed: same pumpkin flavor, less sugar and fat in the custard.
- Top with Greek yogurt: a spoon of plain yogurt stands in for whipped cream at a fraction of the calories.
- Cut smaller slices: ten slices from a pie instead of six keeps the taste and halves the number.
