So I just bought some quinoa last night, thinking I'd try it. Today when I'm planning my meals for the day and entering things into Fitday, I hunt for quinoa, and find it. Fitday tells me that one cup of quinoa is something like 600 calories! I decide to double-check on Calorieking, because that sounds WAY too high for a cup of any kind of grain. Calorieking then says that quinoa is around 235 calories for a cup. What in ****? Where does this huge discrepancy come from? Who's right? Why would either service over/underestimate by such a massive amount?
I'm so unsure now. What do I put into Fitday? Do I need to really restrict how much quinoa I have? I just don't know what to do.
