Quinoa?

Anyone eat this? I saw a recipe that looks good it's cheesy quinoa and broccoli cakes but I figure you can slice some lil pieces of chicken in the pattie cakes as well seems healthy

Yes yes yes! I make this weekly and eat it for lunch mixed with vegees. It is good for us and loaded with Protein, however, is high in calories. Just like the darn nuts I been ranting about. I factor in about 3 ozs with 1 oz of mushrooms, asparagus, zucchini-whichever vegees I have for the day. Not to mention I mix it all with my siracha. Just made a fresh batch this morning. Love quinoa!!

Awesome that's great to hear how far along are you? My doctor says first year worry about Protein don't count calories you only can eat so much and you really can't over do it so he says eat what you want after the year is another story!! He said I don't mean go eat McDonald's for the first year either lmao

10 weeks out. Yeah, I just can't help to watch my calorie intake though. I try and stay under 800 and 300 of that is Protein Shake. Maybe that's a habit i need to break and not worry so much about calories idk. Can't wait till you make your cheddar quinoa. ; )
