With less time for eating, every bite should count. Plan meals around:
Vegetables & Fruits: For vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Lean Proteins: (Grilled chicken, fish, legumes, lentils) for muscle repair and satiety.
Complex Carbs: (Brown rice, quinoa, whole-wheat bread) for lasting energy.
Healthy Fats: (Olive oil, nuts, seeds) for hormone function.
Limit deep-fried foods, heavy sweets, and processed items, which are common at Iftar gatherings but lead to sluggishness, weight gain, and thirst. Preparing simple dishes in advance reduces temptation and stress.
May your Ramadan be blessed, healthy, and spiritually uplifting.
