Feeding Oatmeal, Quinoa, etc.

[kristen_acri]

Quick question -- what quantity of oatmeal or quinoa is recommended per meal? Reyah's weight runs between 38 and 40 pounds.

I weight and measure EVERYTHING but these -- I can't stop!

I'm curious about feeding these carbs when cancer is present -- are they considered sugars that feed cancer?

Thanks!

Great questions Kristen!

Yes, they are higher in carbs but especially quinoa is OK to use because of the higher protein content and other micronutrients.

Especially red quinoa.

PS-Sorry to not be able to help with the actual amounts to use. You don't need to weigh it, but I'd stick to less than 1/4 cup of cooked quinoa/meal because of the carbs.
