Servings from the grains group are counted by 1 ounce servings or 1 ounce equivalents. For example, bread is shown by slices. Depending on the type of bread, 1 serving or 1 ounce equivalent can be 1 slice or in some larger or denser breads it might be a 1/2 slice.

As the chart below amply demonstrates, this is because volume can vary significantly depending on size: The same 1 ounce of cheese can equal 1/2 cup of grated cheese—or half of that amount. So always follow the directions for grate size: It can dramatically impact the outcome of your recipe.
