We love the superfood grain quinoa [1] for its hunger-fighting, filling, protein-packed properties — and for its versatility [2]. You can use quinoa for breakfast [3], lunch [4], dinner [5], and more! Quinoa [6] is also a decent source of calcium, potassium, and energy-boosting iron.
A single serving of quinoa is 1/4 cup of dry grain, which cooked up equates to about 3/4 of a cup. Each serving of quinoa has 156 calories. If you're counting macros [7] or calories, here's the full nutritional breakdown.
