I love pecan pie! Yummy! But, pecan pie is extremely high in calories. I've been making blueberry pies of late and they are amazingly delicious and only 167 calories!! There are berry cream pies too which are even lower in calories. In the mood for pie? Make a fresh berry pie and enjoy!!
I'm putting this under motivation because it was a FANTASTIC motivator! I put my favorite pie recipe [Dixie Pie] in the nutritional calculator and it became MUCH LESS favorable when I found out the calories and fat content for ONE piece! Even if I divided the pie into 15 small pieces, it still had: 344 calories and 23.6 grams of fat! This pie suddenly lost ALL its appeal! 40
