There are many options for both of these recipes. You can use just egg whites (2) instead of one egg. Skip the cheese in the peppers. Add more garlic, Use diced onion instead of onion powder. Adjust amounts to taste. I like them both beacuse it combines pro/carb all in one and I can eat a smaller serving of carbs alongside and hit macros. Also you can double the pepper recipe and put several in fridge or freeze then simply microwave at your convenience.
