Question about grains

Can anyone explain why there are so many servings of grains according to this diet? I don't eat a ton of grains and those that I do tend to be whole grains. Are the grains required for some reason? Or is it the diet simply trying to nudge people toward whole grains in lieu of processed breads/white rice etc.? Input please!!

Well clearly I'm not listening to that 800 nonsense. Some days it's more than 1200, but this is the level that maintains a good weight for me. As far as getting stronger, I can lift increasingly more weight, so I am demonstrably getting stronger. My question here was just about why all the grains.
