Chapati is as bad as rice, it is a high glycemic food, meaning your body will generate high insulin to relguate blood sugar. Check glcemic index of foods. Chapati or rice should be consumed in modartion either 2 chapatia or a cup/scoop of rice

quinoa is low glcemic compared to wheat and rice and it is gluten free unlike wheat. Quinoa is also very rich in protein and sometimes could cause constipation. Calories wise both may be same.

coming to taste chapati wins hand down.

Chapati is worse than rice.

glycemic load versus insulin load

Posted On May 3, 2015

The glycemic index (GI) compares the rise in blood sugar for a particular food relative to glucose.  The theory goes that it is better to eat low glycemic index carbohydrates that will not raise our blood sugar too much and will take longer to digest.

Building on the glycemic index is the concept of glycemic load which is the GI of a food multiplied by the grams of carbohydrate eaten.  Watermelon has a very high GI value, however because watermelon only contains a small quantity of carbohydrates (watermelon is mostly water) the overall glycemic load is small.  A large glycemic load occurs when you eat a large quantity of a high glycemic index carbohydrate.

The limitation of the GI approach is that we can eat a diet full of low glycemic index carbohydrates and protein while still producing a large amount of insulin.  Even though they are slow to digest and do not raise blood sugar significantly, a low GI moderate GL diet will still require substantial amounts of insulin.  It’s the amount of insulin, not the grams of carbohydrates or even the rise in blood sugar that’s really at the nub of the problem.

The chart below shows the relationship between the glycemic load and insulin index.  Reducing the glycemic load does not guarantee a low insulin response, particularly when it comes to high protein foods.

Even if you’re eating low GI foods that don’t spike your blood sugars you may still be generating a sustained requirement for insulin.  Maintaining reasonable blood sugars in spite of a moderate glycemic load is just an indication that your pancreas is still keeping up, for now.

Various studies have shown that eating a low GI diet doesn’t help with weight loss. [4] [5]  We also now know that high insulin levels are also a massive health risk as well as high blood sugars. [6]

Rather than focusing on the glycemic load or the glycemic index, I believe it is more important to manage the overall insulin load of the diet, particularly if your aim is to achieve optimal blood sugars or reduce excess body fat.

Bro science aaa? Glycemic Index even if low, doesn't mean the foods have a low insulin load. Insulin load is what matters, not so much glycemic index. 

Now for actual science based facts,

Agree kani fiber and protein is best in chapati. Brown rice is a totally different subject though. White rice and Bleached wheat floor(maida); the whiter the wheat or rice the bad it is.

also rice mana vallu esp south la kumablu kumbalu tintaru and in that matter 2-3 chapatis is better in my opinion.

What you said is right that 1 cup of rice is better than 2 chapatis but any more of rice is bad; we south indiana usually don’t contain with a cup of rice.

Right quantity matters. Plus also matters when you consume the rice, meal timing is as important as eating the meal itself. 

Brown rice and White rice I don't think matters as much as they both have almost the same amount of insulin load so it doesn't really matter if you consume either although Brown rice might just have a bit more of the fiber than White rice. 

As for wheat, most modern wheat(upto 99%) is of the dwarf variety, google this up. BEtter stick to Einkhorn grain or Ezekiel bread.

Dont substitute rice with quinoa completely, protein rich quinoa, better to mix quinoa and rice
