Unfortunately WolframAlpha is a little off on this one. It shows data for cooked quinoa which is very misguiding. The "correct" macronutrient values with some comparisons: Quinoa: 368kcal / Protein 14g / Fat 6g / Carbs 64g Oats: 379/13/6/67 Regular pasta: 360/12/1/72 Couscous: 361/13/1/72 "Quinoa is a low-calorie, gluten-free, high-protein grain that tastes great." says the author. It's low-calorie compared to butter maybe, and high-protein compared with a cucumber. But compared with the usual suspect of dinner alternatives like pasta or couscous it's just the same. Just by looking at the macros, there's no need to buy quinoa, especially if it's more expensive than other options. This is of course disregarding that it's gluten free and not looking at the micronutrients.
