Hi guys, I can't believe how low in Cals pumpkin is? Are the entries on here accurate?
I used to think of pumpkin like potato or kumara... but it seems it's about a 5th of the cals for 100g.
Please can someone confirm this, before I go on a pumpkin bender!
Many thanks, Nixism

    49 calories for one cup cooked is what I found on Google.

    I use canned pumpkin for my smoothies... for about 1/2 c. runs about 40 calories. Not bad.
