What is a Serving Size?

Recommended Serving Sizes for the Grain Group

The Grain Group often gets scoffed due to the area of high carbohydrates - but the nutritional values that live here can contribute greatly to your good health.

And of course, many foods which live in the Grain Group can also  prove deadly to your Weight Loss Success - foods such as cupcakes, cookies, cakes and other sweet little nothings.

It's important to keep in mind that these sweet little nothings also contain little to 'nothing' when it comes to nutritional values. So choose wisely - and opt for the whole grains whenever possible.
