Bell pepper (any color) — sweet, low-cal, vitamin C dense.
Red has more vitamin C than green (red is just ripe green). Volume-eating snack — eat raw with hummus.
Best for
- volume eating — 31 kcal / 100g keeps plates big
- fiber and micronutrient gaps on high-protein diets
Watch out
- drowning produce in creamy dressings you did not log
- dried fruit or juice versions if you meant fresh
How to log it
Log the form you eat (raw, cooked, juiced). 1 medium (~119g) is the practical unit in the app.
Where it fits the day
Almost always fits as the volume layer. If fat/sauce is the real meal, log that honestly.
Cooked, grilled, fried & breaded
Raw or steamed bell pepper stays close to the page numbers. Oil and creamy dressings are where calories hide — typical kcal per 100g:
| Method | Typical kcal / 100g | Why it moves |
|---|---|---|
| Raw / steamed | ~31 | Matches the page numbers |
| Sautéed in oil | ~56–109 | Oil, not the vegetable, drives the jump |
| Creamy / dressed | ~78–155 | Log the dressing if it is the real meal |
These are typical ranges, not lab measurements. Restaurant recipes, oils, and sauces vary — treat them as logging estimates and edit if your plate looks heavier.
