I am looking for wls appropriate recipes for thanksgiving. I came across a recipe for a crustless pumpkin pie.  See below. Can someone tell me where are the carbs are coming from in this recipe? Also, because you are using sweetened condensed milk, I'm sure there should be some sugar in it but yet  it is not listed.

Definately carbs in the pumpkin. Using google (yeah, I know it's not 100% reliable) it shows canned pumpkin is 85% carbs (sugar). It does sound appetizing!

Thanks everyone. I haven't had pumpkin since surgery so didn't realize it was a carb. This is why I love this forum!

 the canned condensed milk and pumpkin.  pretty much all veggies and fruit are carbs primarily (as far as I know).  I wish they were protein, it would make life post rny so much easier!

Did you find this recipe online? I think I have found a dessert that my family and I could all enjoy.

there are three components to all foods. Carbs, protein, and fats. it is not protein (meat, etc) then its carbs or fat. Vegetables are carbs.

The sweetened condensed milk. Maybe you can try fat free evaporated milk ? I am NOT a recipe expert.

You can't avoid carbs in good foods like pumpkin, or milk, but you can avoid adding extra sugar to things. Carbs are a part of a healthy diet.
