Quinoa what's your thoughts on it

It's an explosion I know new super food. What do you think about the carb count in it. Vs the protein how has it worked for you any thoughts if  trying to lose is it a stay away from until at goal????

me again. lol. That is the only grain that I can have and it does not bother me. I still eat it just once in a while -not very often, but I can have that.  (I deal with severe RH and rice or any other carbs are big no-no  for me) 

It is a grain and carbs. So deal with that accordingly. 

I used that to mix with meat to have stuffed peppers, or with some meats. I don't have more that 1/2 cup at a time anyway.  

I eat eat on occasion.  I measure the amount and see how it fits in with the meal.  I think I started at about 1 year post op.  It didn't have any effect on my weight loss.  It also is the only grain that I eat. Does not cause me any cravings. 

I eat it too. I cut all carbs till I lose a regain. I did not notice any of the yucky feeling I get from rice or pasta but once I have it I do crave it I make patties out if it on a griddle with eggs cheese onions and other veggies I share them at work so i don't eat them all.. I was just curious what others thought about it. 

Seriously you need to just be my buddy...😋

.. Have fun.  

I am not far enough out for it, but prior to surgery ate it a good bit and it is one grain/carb item that my nutritionist is not opposed to after reaching goal, but she suggests using it as a small accent, not an entree or focus of a meal. 

My husband had some tri-color with chicken and kale recently and said it was GREAT!

I love it!  I've had it hot with butter and veggies.  I've used it instead of rice in stuffed peppers,and had it with cold veggies as a salad of sorts.  It's wonderful.

It can also be used in tabuli instead of wheat. Great stuff. 

I like to put a little (1/2 cup) in a big pot of soup;  adds a nice nutty flavor to beef-based soups.
