    Hi mygirl,

    This might help. It gives the figures for uncooked quinoa per ounce, per 100g, or per cup. Calorie-wise quinoa is not too different from brown rice or bulgar wheat.

    To give you an idea. On a fast day with a low-cal curry or casserole 50g uncooked will produce a modest portion for 2, i.e. approx 171 cal divided by 2. On a non-fast day you can probably afford a generous 50g each.

    Thanks Hermajtomomi I am a little mathematically challenged lol. I looked on easy diet diary as well. I like to cook something different on fast days for my husband and myself. I have made cauliflower rice and I really like Quinoa but wanted to know how many calories it had.
