What is the final verdict on quinoa?

[Atomini]

It is really appealing to me because there is more carbohydrate in a smaller given amount than compared to say oatmeal or sweet potato. And the carbohydrate is almost as low glycemic as oats.

Only problem is it doesn't contain the fiber concent that oats do, but that's easily solvable by consuming half of my carbs from oats, and the other half from quinoa in my day. I think i've got a good plan lol.

Or simply take a fiber supp.

Do you eat any greens?

Do you eat any greens?

Yes, plenty of giant bowls of salad. I'm not too concerned about the fibre issue but I do love the benefits of oat fiber on cholesterol and such. I never had better cholesterol profiles, especially on cycle, than when I would consume oatmeal in 5/6 of my meals during the day.

Only thing is thay oats are not as dense of a carbohydrate source, so to get a lot of carbs from it I need to eat quite a bit of it volume wise.
