    My mother basically eats the Med diet as described above: "lots of whole grains, vegetables, and fruit along with moderate amounts of fish, legumes and nuts." Due to this, her very high activity level, and skipping meals when she's busy, she struggles to stay above Underweight.

    I wish I had a little more of your mother's discipline. I hope she can find a good balance to make up for those missed meals.

    Oh, she's been eating this way since she divorced my meat and potatoes Dad, so after all this time it is habit, not discipline :wink:

    Might want to look for reviews of your quinoa brand to see if it tends to be bitter. If so, you can rinse it:

    I think my mother just cooks and eats it like plain rice:

    I used to make a much more complicated recipe with millet, rice, quinoa, and veggies, staggering the additions of the grains/seeds as they all have different cooking times.

    Thank you so much for the great tips! I'll check them out.
