I found this information on http://www.wholehealthmd.com.  I've used this
site several times since I've been trying to go fatfree and have found it
extremely informative.I hope it helps.

 Hi all -

 Does anyone know the fat content of pumpkin seeds?  Not commercially
packaged ones - but right out of the pumpkin, roasted by me.  Are they fat
free?  I fear not - seeds usually have some fat.
