It's probably about a half cup of hamburger meat, with a little cheese. How many calories do the peppers have?

depends on what you stuff them with, but if you're stuffing them with traditional pepper stuffings like cheese, then yes, they will contain quite a few calories. The sum of the calories in a particular type of prepared food isn't going to be more than the sum of what you put into it. Use healthy things: get healthy results. Use oils and cheese: get on the treadmill.

Stuffed Peppers
INGREDIENTS
* 1 pound ground beef
* 1/2 cup uncooked long grain white rice
* 1 cup water
* 6 green bell peppers
* 2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
* salt and pepper to taste
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and cook 20 minutes. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until evenly browned.
3. Remove and discard the tops, seeds, and membranes of the bell peppers. Arrange peppers in a baking dish with the hollowed sides facing upward. (Slice the bottoms of the peppers if necessary so that they will stand upright.)
4. In a bowl, mix the browned beef, cooked rice, 1 can tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Spoon an equal amount of the mixture into each hollowed pepper. Mix the remaining tomato sauce and Italian seasoning in a bowl, and pour over the stuffed peppers.
5. Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, basting with sauce every 15 minutes, until the peppers are tender.

Because all the good stuff in them is fatty!
Pretty much anything that tastes good is high in calories.. just tell yourself that everytime you eat... it helps. or thats at least what i do.
