Want to feel really good for a day? Plan an entire day’s menu around whole grains. Easily incorporated into everything from pilafs and pastas to breads and stews, whole grains not only help you get your fiber, they can also provide you with lots of other key nutrients. Today, challenge yourself to eat a whole grain at every meal.

(Dietitians recommend at least 48 grams of whole grains per day. As you increase whole grains in the diet, make sure you are getting enough water.)

I eat whole grain everything and always have. As a kid my fave bread was cracked wheat and whole wheat! Whole grain just has more flavor!

I have found an awesome flax seed bread available at Walmart.. it comes in a bread and also in sandwhich rolls.. which I use for dipping bread with olive oil and dipping varieties.

Don’t be tricked by “made with whole grains”....check the ingredient list!

Check whole wheat bread; “made with whole wheat” to be sure that the first ingredient is listed as 100%, whole wheat, also watch to make sure there are no added sugars, corn syrups,etc.. in the bread for whole grains do the same check to be sure like gator9294 said

I buy double fiber whole grain bread. It’s not as bad as it sounds. It’s really very good and 1 slice has 3 gr of fiber which is 12% of your daily requirement.
