    It's on my plan (Sleeve). It has a fair amount of carbs but it's a good source of Protein and Vitamins and minerals.

    I do and as long as I count these carbs and Protein it has in my planned eating, I am fine. I eat Quinoa on a regular basis, and it does have starchy carbs, but I only eat it after workouts in the AM

I would not. It is a lot of carbs and will slow down your weight loss. Concentrate on Protein and non-starchy vegetables.

    I'm RNY, so with that in mind, I can only answer from my experiences and from what I've learned.

    At week 5, I would think it would be OK because it does have some Protein in it. But keep in mind, there's only 8g in a full cup of cooked quinoa (and 220 calories). It's not a dense protein, like meats/fish, so it won't keep you as full for as long.

    Down the road, if you want quinoa, I'd add a dense protein to go with it, and use the quinoa as a side dish and only have a little bit of it after you eat your dense protein.

    I eat Quinoa on a regular basis, and it does have starchy carbs, but I only eat it after workouts in the AM, and fibrous carbs from veggies the rest of the day, after protein is covered.
