Quinoa...I'm always surprised that this seems to put weight on me somewhat easily even though it is high in fiber and protein.

Quinoa has a lot of carbs! (1/2 cup=20 carbs, 4 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fiber.)
Lentils are the best choice for a carb if you are going to eat a starch. but limit it to 1/2 cup at the most if you must. (1/2 cup = 20 carbs but 8 fiber grams and 9 grams of protein ...so much better choice with 12 net carbs!)
I switched from french vanilla creamer to half and half and then sweetened with stevia liquid flavored with toffee. sweet leaf makes it. I get it at my health food store. I use a dropperful and a half for each cup of coffee.
The creamer used to have partially hydrogenated oils so trans fat which is the worst kind of fats we can eat.
maybe they don't now...don't know...have to read labels, ingredient lists.
