Hi there,

Just posting that the quinoa calorie count in the database is wrong (very wrong.) It lists 1 cup of quinoa at 636 calories. I searched elsewhere (calorieking.com and the USDA nutrient database) and they both list it at 222 calories for 1 cup of cooked quinoa.

FYI! Hope you change/update it soon.
