DALLAS – As Americans set their sights on New Year’s resolutions centered around wellness, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) is doubling down on its commitment to providing better-for-you meals and snacks for the military community. This initiative is part of the Exchange's BE FIT 360 program, which focuses on holistic wellness by ensuring healthier food options are available at all restaurants, Express locations, and self-service markets.

Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Rich Martinez, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor, emphasized this commitment: “The Exchange is fully committed to supporting nutrition and wellness for the military community, keeping the Nation’s Total Force ready and resilient. We are dedicated to ensuring Warfighters and military families have access to better-for-you meals and snacks to fuel them throughout the day.”

Among the healthier options now offered at Exchange restaurants are:

The Impossible Whopper, a plant-based patty available at Exchange Burger King locations worldwide, along with a variety of salads.
Qdoba Mexican Eats, which features hand-crafted entrees with fresh vegetables and grilled chicken, allowing diners to customize meals for low-carb, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-friendly, high-protein, and low-calorie diets.
Charleys menu items with 300 calories or fewer, including grilled chicken, steak, garden salads, and small cheesesteaks under 500 calories.
Arby’s has meal options under 500 calories, such as sliders and the Classic Roast Beef sandwich, with a side salad exclusively available at Exchange Arby’s locations.

For those on the go, Warfighters can easily identify BE FIT 360-approved snacks and meals at 350 Express stores around the globe, marked with Healthier Choices, Healthier Lifestyle shelf tags. Healthy snacks, such as fresh fruit, trail mix, veggie chips, and yogurt, are also readily available to support nutritious eating habits.

In addition, a growing number of 24/7 self-service stores now offer fresh options, including salads, fruits, and sandwiches, for service members who are unable to access an Exchange restaurant or Express while on duty.

“From grab-and-go snacks to meals for the family, the Exchange is all in to support nutrition and wellness goals,” Martinez stated. “The Exchange is honored to make healthy eating a part of everyday life on and off duty.”

As the 51st-largest retailer in the United States, 100% of Exchange earnings support military communities.
