January 30, 2014 Quinoa, Chia Seeds, & Milled Flax Seed

I got my order from www.nuts.com in the mail today.  I ordered Quinoa flakes (wanted to try another consistency than the tiny bubbles that Quinoa is) and Chia seeds. The scale shows me up a pound.  Gonna try not to think about it since I goofed up with eating pizza (husband ordered it last night). I also ate it too late in the evening.

1/2 a cup of quinoa cooked with water contain 144 cal, 27 carb, 5.1 protein, 2.3 fat, 11.3 sodium, 2.3 fiber an 137 potassium

Coming from someone who has been eating Quinoa (me), I can tell you that it is filling!  It keeps me satisfied most of the day and it is so versatile.

1 tablespoon Chia seeds contains 69 cal, 6 carb, 2 protein, 4.5 fat, 2.5 sodium, 5.5 fiber
The normal serving size is 2 tablespoons.

1 tablespoon of Milled Flax Seed contains
30 cal, 2 carb, 1.5 protein, 2.5 fat, 2 fiber, 10 calcium, .4 iron

I'm going to try out the Chia seeds.

Today, so far, I have had 1/2 cup of Quinoa, 1 tablespoon of Chia seeds, and 1 tablespoon of Milled Flax Seeds with my meal.  If I am full and these things have the  nutrition they have in them, then I would think I'd continue with my weight loss.
