Serving Size Surprise

Think you'll need to stretch your stomach to fit in six to 11 servings of grain foods each day? Not likely. A serving size is actually quite small. Here are quantities of whole-grain foods that equal one serving:

• 
  
  
  
  
• One slice whole-grain bread
  
  
  
  
• Approximately 1 cup (1 ounce) ready-to-eat whole-grain cereal
  
  
  
  
• One-half cup cooked brown rice
  
  
  
  
• Five to six whole-grain crackers
  
  
  
  
• Two cups popped popcorn
