About Pie, lemon meringue, prepared from recipe

Lemon meringue pie is a classic three-part dessert: a crisp pastry shell, a bright, tart lemon-curd filling thickened with egg yolks, and a tall cap of fluffy baked meringue made from whipped egg whites and sugar. The contrast between the sharp citrus filling and the airy sweet topping is what makes it so popular.

Per 100 grams a homemade lemon meringue pie runs about 285 calories, with roughly 39 grams of carbohydrate and about 13 grams of fat. Compared with dense cream or chocolate pies it is on the lighter side, because the meringue is mostly air and the filling is largely lemon, sugar and water rather than cream. A generous slice — about a sixth of a 9-inch pie, near 125 grams — comes to roughly 360 calories.

Most of the calories here come from the sugar in the filling and meringue and the fat in the crust. It is a treat rather than an everyday food, but as desserts go, the meringue-and-citrus construction keeps it lighter than many of its richer relatives.
