      159 g carbs and tons of sugar? How if using erythritol?

        I thought the same. If you look closely at the serving size, 1 serving is the whole 9-inch pie. Divide the calories and/or carbs by how many pieces you will cut the pie into. I would typically cut that size pie into 8 even pieces.
