Fueling for performance
>
> The
Soldier Fueling Initiative (SFI) is an Army program developed to establish a feeding (‘fueling”) standard for
Soldiers in Initial Military Training (IMT). It encompasses DoD nutrition standards, nutritional education, menu
development, product selection, and preparation and serving standards. Recent studies clearly indicate that the “fueling
for performance” message resonates with IET Soldiers and positively contributes to Soldier performance.

b. Performance fueling education. Every IET Soldier will receive a one-hour block of instruction on performance
nutrition education within the first two weeks of BCT/OSUT to ensure they have a good understanding of fueling for
performance. Within the performance nutrition education, Soldiers will learn macro- and micro- nutrients’ impact on
performance and how to use the Go for Green™ labeling used throughout all Army dining facilities to select food
choices that will optimize their performance. A video is available to assist cadre in providing this block of
education. IET cadre will use the Go for Green™ labeling to guide Soldiers in their food choices to assist them in
attaining their performance goals. A Go for Green™ digital application is also available.
