I committed a dietary sin

so quinoa made this healthy?

im not sure i understand.

Judging only by single foods and not total diet, quinoa has more to offer than pasta.

I don't think the devil is cackling in delight... this isn't much of a sin.

In what regard?

In regards to nutrition. Fiber, protein, micronutrients.

A trap? I'm not sure what you mean.

it means that one who engages you finds themselves ultimately trapped in a never-ending argument.
i just don't have the energy for it today bctacos. perhaps another time.

:laugh: How could I trap someone in an agrument? They have the same option to stop replying as I.

you make a good point.

Should have added bacon.

Looked this recipe up. Definitely making this!

My sin - last night I had a Milkshake from Chick Fil A. Now, that's a dietary sin!! lol

But a delicious one, I'm sure. I'd take that over quinoa any day of the week. Can't stand that stuff.

Yeah. Okay, maybe not fiber if using whole wheat pasta. But more potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, folate. And a more complete protein profile.

And less Niacin, Thiamin, Pantothenic Acid and Manganese. I can single out items as well. And the "protein profile" isn't more complete...they offer the same essential and non-essential aminos, albeit in different, though similar, amounts.

Quinoa might offer more of some items than pasta, but you can turn that around as well. I happen to prefer my mac and cheese with pasta, but really don't care as long as there is bacon.

A more complete protein profile? What?

Bcats you haven't changed much in my absence have you. ;-)

Yeah... the only way to repent now would be to have some brownie ice cream cake

Wait what? This exists?
