Asked by unknown
1 Answers
One-half cup of cooked quinoa contains 111 calories, 4 grams of protein, about 2 grams of fat and almost 20 grams of carbohydrates. Low-carb diets count only "net"carbs -total grams of carbs minus grams of fiber. Because nearly 3 grams of the carbs in quinoa are from fiber, it contains 17 net grams of carbs.
