Eating Pumpkin

[Beaut]

Hi guys.. and gals, just wanting to know what you think of consuming pumpkin. There's not a lot out there about bodybuilders eating it. The nutritional value of it is great... low fat, low carbs and low calorie ratio. Cheers

Yep nothing wrong with pumpkin, lovely stuff. I wouldn't use it as a main carb source in a meal though. Much better things like brown rice etc to use. Pumpkin provides fiber and also provides vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron.

I used pumpkin during my contest prep. I mashed it, mixed it with BSN Lean Dessert Cinnamon Roll protein powder, cinnamon, allspice, some Splenda to sweeten and optional greek yoghurt. Tasted yum =P~

Another good way is mashed with a little butter and mixed herbs

I wouldn't use at diet time as its quite high in GI.

Yum that reminds me I have one in my fridge I've been meaning to cook.

I make burger-patty things out of it with some tuna and veges all mashed up then rolled in oats and cooked in the oven YUM!

Steamed pumpkin and kumara mash is wonderful.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was told I could eat as much pumpkin as I liked during competition prep.

Pumpkin pie is also amazingly good, although possibly not in the runup to a comp. :wink:
