100g The calorie of quinoa is 368 calories.

Quinoa has always been a favorite food substitute for many slimming people, but the calories of quinoa are actually not low. 100 grams of quinoa has a calorie of 368 calories. Many people also wonder why quinoa can lose weight with such high calories. Let's take a closer look.

Quinoa is high in calories. Why lose weight?

Quinoa can also lose weight because it is a low GI food. The lower the GI value, the slower the food digestion, and the less it will lead to excessive increase of blood sugar and fat accumulation. In addition, quinoa can also solve the hunger caused by dieting, and its comprehensive nutrition can solve the symptoms such as dizziness and weakness caused by malnutrition.

Moreover, quinoa is very absorbent and can give people a strong sense of fullness. Some people can eat a bowl of rice, but they are full after eating half a bowl of quinoa.

At the same time, quinoa seeds contain a lot of cellulose, which is more than oats and other grains. Therefore, in promoting gastrointestinal peristalsis, it is quite "scraping oil" without losing other coarse grains!

Matters needing attention in weight loss of quinoa

1, eat quinoa in moderation, pay attention to the balance of coarse grain flour and rice in the diet, and match it with nutritious foods, such as foods rich in protein and minerals, to help absorb nutrition.

2. Quinoa is still a staple food with high calorie density. It is suggested that more quinoa intake will reduce other staple foods. For example, white rice and quinoa can be cooked and stirred at the same time to become highly nutritious quinoa rice.

3. For patients with severe gastrointestinal injury and inflammation, it is not suitable to eat red quinoa and black quinoa.
