Ah yes, the infamous Quinoa! I actually want to consider this post to be called "The Quinoa Controversy" because quinoa is notably known for being "protein-packed." I've never been impressed (though it does have more protein than rice... but is that actually impressive?) 

Nonetheless, let's get started!
Protein: 8g / 7g = 1.2 ≈ about 1 block protein
Carbohydrate: 39g / 9g = 4.3 ≈ about 4 blocks of carbs
Fat: 4g / 3g = 1.3 ≈ about 1 block of fat


I'm usually looking for a 4 block meal, so it looks like one cooked cup of quinoa is about right! I would need to supplement a protein and fat. What better to pair with quinoa than chicken and avocado? I would supplement about 75g of chicken (3 blocks) and about 60g or 1/3 of an avocado (3 blocks). Perhaps even top it off with some lettuce and a light balsamic drizzle. Yummy!
