quinoa or brown rice?

Question

which is healthier?  lowest calories? highest protein etc? and what's a good serving size ?

Answer

Quinoa

Answer

I heard quinoa is healthier

Answer

Quinoa. It is a complete protein.

Answer

"Healthier" is entirely subjective. Quinoa is more nutrient dense and certain people suspect that brown rice has what are essentially "anti-nutrients" that actually prevent you from utilizing vitamins in other foods that you eat - but they're both carbohydrates and they're both essentially interchangeable. The macronutrient/calorie content of either is pretty similar. Eat both if you want. It's better to eat a wide variety of food than to stick to ONE type of starchy carbohydrate. How much you should eat in one serving depends on your dietary needs. Personally, a serving for me of either is a little less than half a cup. That's pretty standard.
