I'm really really trying to make my calories count. Good clean food. I have recently begun experimenting with quinoa...Love it! But hate the high calorie count. Same goes for wild rice. 1/4 of a cup of quinoa has a whopping 172 calories! Wild rice is 160 calories for 1/4 cup! That's like 3 bites. Do you think it's worth it?...

1/4 cup on quinoa dry or cooked? A 1/4 cup dry expands to A LOT OF QUINOA (at least in my experience). I also feel like quinoa keeps me fuller longer, so 172 calories is worth it. Pair the quinoa with some broccoli and chicken, it'll keep me full for hours.0
