- 1 cup oatmeal = 2 ounce equivalents (¹) - 2 slices of bread = 2 ounce equivalents (₂) - 3 cups popped popcorn = 1.5 ounce equivalents (S1U1P21) - 1 cup pasta = 2 ounce equivalents (S1U1P22) Total: 7.5 ounce equivalents However, because the client consumed more than the recommended limit for the "Grains" food group for their age, gender, and physical activity level, the best choice would be to reduce the consumption of grain foods and increase the intake of other food groups to achieve a balanced diet.
