Recommended Intake. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that half of the grains you eat consist of whole grains. This means women should eat at least three 1-ounce servings of whole grains per day, and men should eat three to four servings.
Whole grains are healthier than refined grains. Consuming whole grains instead of refined grains can help you meet the recommended fiber intake of 21 to 35 grams of fiber per day. Whole grains contain all parts of the grain, including the bran, germ and endosperm, while refined grains only contain the endosperm of the grain.
