Grains

According to the United States Department of Agriculture's Food Pyramid, I should intake atleast 10 ounces of Grains daily.

Grains are important because they:

• Can reduce constipation when part of a healthy diet.
• Can help with weight management.

Some grains that I could include in my diet:

• Popcorn
• Whole Wheat Pasta
• Whole Wheat Cereal
• Whole Wheat Bread

Here's an example of how I could get my 10 ounces of grains in one day:

• 1 large biscuit (2 oz.)
• 1 medium piece of cornbread (2 ½” x 2 ½” x 1 ¼”) (2 oz.)
• 1 english muffin (2 oz.)
• 1 microwave bag of popcorn (4 oz.)
