Apple pie

I baked an apple pie last night and was waiting patiently to have a piece tonight for snack.   I became extremely disappointed when I went to the food log to add it and they say one slice of apple pie is 400+ calories.  I knew it would be a treat but I didn't think it should replace dinner. 

I'm going to eat it anyway and log it but I'm not sure it's correct.  I mean yes it has Pillsbury crust, tapioca, apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and less than 1/2 cup of sugar for the entire pie. 

Just wondering what you guys thought the calorie count should be.  Next time I'll make an apple crisp it should be better because it won't have crust. 

Put the recipe in the analyzer on this site and you will be able to out in the number of servings and find out EXACTLY what the count will be. It is located in the recipe section....

Thanks I'll try it.  The pie was tasty and I hope the rest of the family eats it otherwise I'll be in trouble.

I've heard others speak of this feature but didn't know where to find it.

Don't take their word for it - type the recipe into the analyzer yourself and find out how many calories YOUR pie has. (the analyser is under foods 'new recipe'). Type in your ingredients and it'll check them out for you.

400 cals for a piece of pie sounds spot on.  Pastry is fat and flour, after all.... 156 cals per ounce.  What you do, rather than having it replace an entire meal, is designate your apple pie as something you enjoy on a 'treat day' (legitimate metabolism-boosting strategy) and you enjoy it with relish.

It isn't the same as having a yummy pie but what I do is slice up some apples, add spenda and cinnamon and put it in the microwave.  Then I just top it with a small amount of granola.  The only calories you are really getting that way are from the apple and granola.
