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
