Is Quinoa Better For You Than Oatmeal?

Nutritionally speaking, if we compare 1 cooked cup of each:

Oatmeal 3.5 ounces (100 grams) has 2.5g of fat; 25g of carbs, 3.7g of fiber and 5g of protein.
Quinoa 1 cup (185 grams) has 1.9g of fat; 21g of carbs, 2.8g of fiber and 4.4g of protein

Quinoa is more nutritionally dense but oatmeal still makes a healthy breakfast choice.
