When you hit the grocery aisles make sure what you choose really are whole grains. Just because a bread package says "contains 7 different grains" or something along those lines, that doesn't make it whole grain.
Example? 100% whole wheat bread is just that; white wheat bread might as well be plain old white. You'll be doing yourself a favor to go 100%; whole grains include many of the nutrients the Guidelines say we're lacking including vitamin A and soluble and insoluble fiber, not to mention protein and iron.
