So how many carbs does pumpkin have? The book says 9.9 for a half cup the print out from the list here says 2.4 for a 1/4 cup. Another place says one cup has 12 carbs then yet another says one cup has 19 carbs. I can't read the label cause my daughter took it off but I can tell you it's wallmart brand pumpkin. Not pie mix but straight pumpkin. I was looking to have a half cup with butter and pie spice with my salmon for lunch but I don't want to go over my carbs. Should I just wait and buy another can tomorrow so I can go by their carb count oon the label?

Re: pumpkin question
It's generic. I think to be on the safe side I will count it as 5 net carbs. Yesterday the only veggie I had was salad and I had a few eggs so my carbs were more eggs than veggies so I am trying to find ways to get more veggie carbs. Thanks I wasn't sure how many carbs were actually in it. Tomorrow I will buy more and write it down so next time I know. My two year old loves to pull labels off of everything.Comment

Re: pumpkin question
There are actually 4 carbs in 1/2 cup, not 10. Don't forget that we are counting net carbs on Atkins, not total carbs.Originally posted by Flashsa View Post"Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: pumpkin question
The generic pumpkin that I eat has 6 carbs per half cup (10 carbs - 4 fibre). This is about the same as you get if you enter it on fitday.
I think pumpkin is absolutely great stuff. It has lots of fibre and the nutritional value is phenomenal. (beta carotene, potassium, vitamin a, c)Startdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: pumpkin question
Because veggies carbs="good" carbs. You are allowed 20(net carbs)/day on induction, and half should be from veggies. So if you want to use 20 carbs, you NEED 10 NET carbs from veggiesOriginally posted by Flashsa View Post
