Red bell pepper, raw. Green peppers are just unripe red ones and run slightly lower in sugar; the calorie difference is negligible either way.

How does bell pepper fit your goals?

Bell pepper is a carb-dominant food, with 7.1g of carbohydrate per 1 medium (119g). That makes it a useful pre- or post-training fuel source, especially for endurance work or higher-volume strength sessions. If you're tracking for fat loss, the lever isn't avoiding carbs — it's portioning them around the parts of your day where the energy is actually used.

Diet-wise, bell pepper fits low-carb and vegan and vegetarian eating patterns.

Micronutrients worth noting

Beyond the macros, bell pepper pulls real weight on vitamin C (169% DV) per 1 medium (119g) — the kind of micronutrient density that calorie counts alone don't show.
