The role of grains
Grains provide carbohydrate energy and can also contribute fiber, B vitamins, and minerals when you choose whole-grain options more often.
Oats, brown rice, quinoa, and wholegrain breads help create filling meals when combined with vegetables and protein.

Smarter grain choices
Aim for grains that keep more of their original structure and use portions that match your goals, activity, and appetite.
