  • Sohour, which happens to be the pre-dawn meal for anyone who doesn't know, should include healthy carbohydrates, protein, and delicious fats to keep you feeling full and energized throughout the day. Opt for whole grains like oats, barley, or whole wheat bread, along with lean proteins such as eggs, yogurt, or nuts.
  • Hydration is key during fasting hours. Drink plenty of water between Iftar (the evening meal) and Suhoor to prevent dehydration. Avoid sugary drinks and opt for water, herbal teas, or infused water with fruits like cucumber or lemon for added flavor.
  • Break your fast with dates and water, as they provide a quick source of energy and help replenish electrolytes lost during fasting. Follow with a balanced meal that includes vegetables, lean proteins, and carbohydrates to provide sustained energy for the evening.
  • Limit fried and sugary foods during Ramadan, as they can lead to fatigue and weight gain. Instead, focus on nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grains.
  • Practice portion control during Iftar to avoid overeating. Start with a small portion of food and wait a few minutes before deciding if you're still hungry. Listen to your body's hunger and fullness cues to avoid overindulging.
  • Incorporate a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables into your meals to ensure you're getting a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Aim to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables at each meal.
