🎃 Is Pumpkin 0 Points on WW?
Yes, plain canned pumpkin (unsweetened, not pie filling) and fresh pumpkin are usually 0 points on most WW plans when eaten on their own.
This applies to:
Fresh pumpkin (boiled, roasted, or steamed)
100% canned pumpkin (unsweetened)
✅ Zero Points – Because it’s a non-starchy vegetable and fits within the zero-point food list for most WW plans (like Blue or Purple plans).
❌ When Pumpkin Has Points:
Pumpkin can have WW points if it’s:
In a recipe with other point-carrying ingredients (e.g., sugar, flour, butter, etc.)
Sweetened (like pumpkin pie filling)
Used in excess — some WW members track it if using large amounts (like over 1 cup) for baking or smoothies
🔹 Example:
Pumpkin Pie Filling (with sugar/spices): ~4–6 points per ½ cup
Pumpkin Bread or Muffins: Points vary based on ingredients
📝 Pro Tip:
If you’re making a “0 point pumpkin” recipe, make sure:
You’re using pure pumpkin (not pie mix)
All other ingredients are also 0 points (like eggs, spices, non-fat Greek yogurt, etc.)
