The recommended vegetable intake is 3-5 servings a day. This sounds like a lot of greens, but this isn't hard to fulfill each day. For fruit, go for 2-4 servings. Across the bottom of the pyramid, representing 6-11 servings each day, is the grains group. This should be the foundation of your diet.
Grains are high in carbohydrates and fiber, and very low in fat.
