Healthy Eating Tip: Eat at Least 3 Different Whole Grains Daily

A woman should aim to eat between 25 and 30 grams of fiber a day. Besides munching on fruits and veggies, eating whole grains is a great way to meet your quota. I'm talking about whole grains, not foods made with whole grains.

Amaranth, barley, buckwheat, bulgur wheat, corn, millet, oats, quinoa, rice, and wheat berries are all examples of whole grains. Not only do they contain fiber, but they also contain protein and valuable vitamins and minerals. Include at least three different ones in your diet each day. Here's a sample menu to show you how to get your three:

• Oatmeal in the morning
• A rice and beans burrito for lunch
• Stir-fry with quinoa for dinner
