Our Story

Go for Green® (G4G) is a DoD program that promotes healthful food and beverage choices in order to optimize the performance, readiness, and health of our service members. We make it easy to find high-performance foods and beverages to boost your fitness, strength, and health.

In your dining facility or galley, G4G labels foods and beverages with a stoplight system—Green, Yellow, and Red—to identify your best choices for peak performance. Foods are labeled with Low, Moderate, or High sodium symbols to point out sodium content too.

Even if you are not eating in a dining facility with our labels, you can still use these tips to build your energy-boosting plate:


  • Aim to fill half your plate with Green-coded foods. You can find healthy, Green-coded choices in every food group: grains, fats, proteins, fruits and vegetables, and dairy.
