Many housewives are confused about serving meals and food for iftar and suhoor.
Therefore, Dr. Syed Hammad, a nutritionist at the National Institute of Nutrition, provides Masrawy with foods to eat on his fast and the first days of fasting in Ramadan:
Hammad said iftar should speed up to reduce the fasting period, and as soon as Maghrib’s ears are heard, breakfast should start with milk or yogurt with dates or fresh fruit juice, then we would start eating hot soup.
The nutrition counselor recommends that you rest from eating after Maghrib’s call to prayer for half an hour, so that the stomach can receive food after a long period of fasting.
Then we start to eat the main breakfast which contains a good source of protein, bad meat, chicken or fish, and a starchy ingredient like rice, pasta or live, and a salad plate containing 3 different varieties of fresh leafy vegetables.
The doctor added that it is better to divide breakfast twice, once after Maghrib and once after two or three hours to avoid indigestion.
He also continued that it is possible to have a snack between Iftar and Suhoor, such as fresh fruit or vegetables or a small piece of Ramadan sweets, and they should not be wasted because they contain many calories that cause weight gain.
Hammad continued that regarding suhoor food, it is preferable to delay it as long as possible before the constipation time to reduce the fast time, and it should contain important nutrients that help you feel full and not thirsty during the day in Ramadan.
He added that sohoor flour should contain a complex source of starch, which is municipal life, and fava beans are considered a source of protein, fiber and complex carbohydrates, which help you feel full.
It is also preferable to eat yogurt, eggs and cheese, in addition to eating fresh leafy vegetables.
It is also preferable to drink water and liquids to avoid thirst and stay away from foods that contain high salts and sugars.
