For the past few months I have been eating a lot of pumpkin, like A LOT. Also I've been gaining weight steadily since I began eating it.
I've been sticking to my calorie target for losing weight yet still gaining. About half my daily intake is pumpkin, yes I'm addicted!
I always bake it in the oven and even weight it to make sure I calculate the calories right.
All I can think is that it has something to do with the weight from baking it. Seeing as raw vs baked pumpkin is almost the same in calories yet if you start with 2lbs raw pumpkin then bake it, it will weight a bit less than 2lbs because of the water evaporation therefore making it more dense/calorific?
I am completely at a loss here!
