MISAWA AB – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service makes it convenient for the Miawa community to find healthy dining choices.

Subway offers more than a dozen sandwiches with 350 calories or fewer including turkey breast, oven-roasted chicken, Veggie Delight and Black Forest ham. There are over 120 low-calorie items at Einstein Bros. Bagels, all under 500 calories. This includes hot sandwiches, salads, fresh fruit cups and yogurt parfait.
Shoppers can also find healthy snacks at the Express with options like fresh fruit, trial mix, nuts, veggie chips, yogurt, etc.
“Having quick and convenient access to better-for-you meals and snacks is vital for the readiness and resilience of the total force at Misawa,” said Misawa BX General Manager Michickia Carter. “The Exchange is all in to support the health, wellness and nutrition of Misawa service members and their families with ever-expanding BE FIT options.”
The Exchange’s commitment to providing nutritious options extends to vending machines around the installation, with items like baked chips, dried fruit, trail mix and other snacks. Vending machines offer options that meet the National Automatic Merchandising Association Fit Pick requirements, reserved for products that contain no more than 35% of calories from fat, 10% of total calories from saturated fat and 35% of total weight from sugar.
