How many calories are in a slice of pecan pie?
A standard slice of store-bought pecan pie weighs 133 g and carries 541 calories. Per 100 g the pie runs 407 calories. That single slice is heavier than most dessert-menu portions before anything is spooned over it, and the whole 833 g pie comes to 3,390. The filling, not the crust, drives almost all of it.
You'd need to walk about 108 minutes to burn the 541 calories in one slice (133 g).

Pecan pie quick facts
The record used here is SR Legacy 175021, "Pie, pecan, commercially prepared". It describes the pie most people are actually holding: one bought whole from a supermarket or a bakery case, or cut into slices behind the counter. It also carries real US household measures, "1 slice" and "1 oz", so the serving math is USDA's rather than ours.
USDA has two other pecan pie records, one for a from-scratch recipe and one richer restaurant-style entry. Both sit in the variants section below, and they differ because of how the pie was made, not because the data came from somewhere else.

Two rows you would see on a supermarket label are missing here: added sugars and trans fat. The SR Legacy edition of this record does not publish either, so we left them out rather than guess. Cholesterol comes in at 42 mg per 100 g, or 56 mg a slice (19% DV), and potassium at 99 mg per 100 g, or 132 mg a slice (3% DV). The 366 mg of sodium is roughly a sixth of a teaspoon of table salt, which is a lot of salt for something served with ice cream.
US servings, from one ounce to a whole pie
| Serving | Weight | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 28.35 g | 115 kcal |
| Mini slice, coffee-shop cut | 75 g | 305 kcal |
| One slice, standard cut | 133 g | 541 kcal |
| One large slice | 150 g | 611 kcal |
| One whole 9-inch pie | 833 g | 3390 kcal |
| Per 100 g | 100 g | 407 kcal |
The 133 g slice and the ounce are USDA's own household measures for this record. The 75 g and 150 g cuts are our own arithmetic from the USDA 100 g figure, not USDA servings, and they exist because bakery slices are cut by eye. That is the trap on this food: nobody weighs pie. Sixteen grams either side of the standard slice moves the number by about 65 calories, so a generous hand at the pie server is worth more than the topping.
The whole-pie figure is the useful one at a holiday table. A 9-inch pecan pie carries 3,390 calories, so cutting it into eight pieces gives 424 each and cutting it into six gives 565. The pie does not get lighter when the slices get bigger; it just gets shared with fewer people.
Homemade, restaurant and mini slices
| Version | Per 100 g | Typical piece | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Store-bought pie | 407 kcal | one slice, 133 g | 541 kcal |
| Homemade, from recipe | 412 kcal | one eighth of a 9-inch pie, 122 g | 503 kcal |
| Restaurant-style slice | 449 kcal | one regular slice, 150 g | 674 kcal |
| Restaurant-style, mini slice | 449 kcal | 75 g | 337 kcal |
| Restaurant-style, large slice | 449 kcal | 250 g | 1123 kcal |
| Store-bought, whole pie | 407 kcal | one pie, 833 g | 3390 kcal |
Homemade pie is the surprise. Per 100 g it is denser than the store version, 412 against 407, because a scratch recipe uses more butter and eggs and less filler in the shell. But a from-recipe eighth of a 9-inch pie weighs 122 g, so the piece lands at 503 calories, below the 541-calorie bakery slice. The recipe is richer; the cut is smaller. That is the whole difference.
The restaurant-style record is the one that gets away from people. At 449 calories per 100 g, a 150 g plated slice is 674 calories, 133 more than the same-looking supermarket slice, and it brings 37.9 g of fat with 9.6 g saturated (48% DV). A 250 g wedge, which is what a diner slice often looks like, is 1,123 calories on its own. The mini slices go the other way: 75 g of the restaurant version is 337 calories and works as an actual dessert portion.
Store brands cluster more tightly than you would expect. The USDA Branded records for supermarket pecan pies run from 351 calories per 100 g for Willamette Valley Pie Co up to 422 for the Whole Foods Market pie, with The Maine Pie Co at 375, Mo Pie at 376, Market Basket at 392 and Target's Market Pantry at 416. Scaling those by hand, a 125 g slice would be 439 calories from the lightest and 528 from the heaviest — our own arithmetic, not label servings, but it shows the brand you pick matters less than the size you cut.
The sugar row is the one to watch
A slice carries 33.5 g of total sugars and 79.3 g of carbohydrate, which is 29% of the Daily Value for carbs in a single dessert. USDA's SR Legacy record does not break out added sugars for this pie, so we cannot honestly hold that 33.5 g up against the FDA's 50 g added-sugars Daily Value — total sugars and added sugars are not the same row, and corn syrup pies would flatter themselves in that comparison anyway. What we can say is that the carbohydrate load, not the nuts, is the calorie story.
Fat is the row people worry about and the row that behaves best. The slice has 22.2 g of fat, 28% of the FDA Daily Value, but only 3.5 g of it is saturated — less than a sixth of the total, and 18% DV. Pecans are mostly unsaturated fat, so a pecan pie is genuinely gentler on saturated fat than a cheesecake or a cream pie of the same weight. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans put the saturated-fat ceiling at 10% of calories, and a slice of pecan pie uses less of that budget than its richness suggests.
Fiber is the small consolation: 2.8 g a slice, 10% DV, which is more than most desserts return. Protein is 6.0 g, or 12% DV, and it comes from the eggs and nuts rather than the shell. If you are watching sodium, note the 366 mg — dessert is not usually where you expect a sixth of the day's salt.
How does pecan pie compare?
| Dessert | Per 100 g | US serving | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pecan pie | 407 kcal | 1 oz, 28.35 g | 115 kcal |
| Baklava | 440 kcal | 1 oz, 28.35 g | 125 kcal |
| Peanut butter cream pie | 421 kcal | 1 oz, 28.35 g | 119 kcal |
| Cheesecake, plain | 399 kcal | 1 oz, 28.35 g | 113 kcal |
Our take: gram for gram, pecan pie is not the villain of the dessert table. Of these four, only plain cheesecake is lighter per 100 g, and pecan pie beats both the baklava and the peanut butter cream pie. It gets its reputation from the way it is served — a 133 g wedge is simply a bigger piece of food than the 80 g sliver of cheesecake most people take. For weight loss, cut the slice in half and eat 271 calories; for the fullest dessert per calorie, the cream pie and the cheesecake give you more fat and less carbohydrate per bite. Judged on saturated fat, a slice spends 3.5 g of its 22.2 g of fat, or 18% of the Daily Value.

Pecan pie FAQs
How many calories are in a slice of pecan pie?
541 calories for a standard 133 g slice of store-bought pecan pie, based on USDA's commercially prepared record at 407 calories per 100 g. A restaurant-style 150 g slice is higher at 674 calories, and a small 75 g coffee-shop cut comes to 305.
How many calories in a whole pecan pie?
A whole 9-inch store-bought pecan pie weighs 833 g and holds 3,390 calories. Cut into six pieces that is 565 each; cut into eight it is 424 each. The pie also carries 2,290 mg of sodium and 210 g of total sugars across the whole tin.
How much sugar is in pecan pie?
33.5 g of total sugars in a 133 g slice, or 25.18 g per 100 g. USDA's SR Legacy record does not report added sugars separately for this pie, so there is no honest way to compare that figure with the 50 g added-sugars Daily Value on a nutrition label.
How many carbs are in pecan pie?
79.3 g of carbohydrate in a 133 g slice, which is 29% of the Daily Value, from 59.61 g per 100 g. Fiber accounts for 2.8 g of that. Carbohydrate, not fat, is what makes pecan pie one of the heaviest slices on a dessert table.
How much fat is in a slice of pecan pie?
22.2 g of fat in a 133 g slice, or 28% of the Daily Value, and only 3.5 g of it is saturated. That saturated share is under a sixth of the total, because pecans are mostly unsaturated fat. A 150 g restaurant slice runs higher, at 37.9 g of fat.
Does homemade pecan pie have more calories than store-bought?
Per 100 g, yes: 412 calories for USDA's from-recipe pie against 407 for the commercially prepared one. Per slice, no. A from-recipe eighth of a 9-inch pie weighs 122 g and comes to 503 calories, below the 541 of a 133 g bakery slice.
How many calories in a mini pecan pie?
About 305 calories for a 75 g mini slice of store-bought pie, and 337 calories if it is cut from the richer restaurant-style version at 449 per 100 g. Both are our own arithmetic scaled from the USDA 100 g figures rather than listed USDA servings.
What are pecan pie's nutrition facts per 100 g?
Per 100 g: 407 calories, 16.69 g fat of which 2.65 g saturated, 59.61 g carbohydrate, 2.1 g fiber, 25.18 g total sugars, 4.5 g protein, 275 mg sodium and 42 mg cholesterol. Those are USDA's figures for commercially prepared pecan pie.
