How am I supposed to get 6 servings of whole grains?

Anyone have any ideas on this?  I have been eating low-fat Eggo waffles that have whole grains for breakfast and I always choose wheat bread over white and whole-wheat pasta when we have pasta... but how on earth can I get 6 servings of whole grains every day???

    it's easier than you think.  A serving is pretyt small, so you're likely eating more than one serving of pasta, etc.

    Make sure you are taking your PNV and do your best. I asked my NP because my m/s was so bad not much was staying down, she said as long as I took my PNV and stayed hydrated the baby would be fine.

    If you can still eat all that good stuff go for whole grain crakers for snacks, I liked the whole grain wheat thins.

    I am currently a fan of Cinnamon Life cereal for breakfast and Whole Grain Lean Pockets for lunch.

    Even something like whole grain graham crackers counts. Yum, graham crackers with peanut butter....

    Thanks for the tips.  Luckily (knock on wood), I have had no m/s yet.  I'll definitely try to look for some whole grain snacks and I do take my PNV daily!

    and dont forget, a serving is actually quite small.  i probably eat 3 servings of brown rice, ww pasta or a bowl of cereal.  and a sandwich = 2 servings.  and if there is a bag of popcorn...well, that's my 6 servings right there Surprise

    I snack on Kashi whole grain crackers.  Kashi also has really good frozen waffles that are a good source of whole grains, fiber, and protein.
