Ramadan without burnout, how to balance calories and nutrients from suhoor to iftar
Latest news on WhatsApp أجدد الأخبار على واتسابBalancing “energy” in Ramadan is mainly about matching calories to your needs while securing enough protein, fibre, fluids, and key minerals within a shorter eating window. Fasting is generally safe for most healthy people, but problems often come from overeating at iftar, too much fried or sugary food, and poor hydration and sleep.
Practical core
Suhoor works best when it combines slow carbs, protein, healthy fats, and fibre, such as oats or whole grains with yogurt or eggs, plus fruit and vegetables.
Break the fast gently, start with water and a small amount of dates, then a light soup or salad, and move to a balanced main plate rather than a heavy meal all at once.
Hydrate steadily between sunset and dawn, and use urine colour as a simple self check, pale yellow often suggests adequate hydration.
Medical note
If you live with a chronic condition, especially diabetes, plan ahead with your clinician. Diabetes guidance stresses frequent glucose checks and breaking the fast if glucose drops below 4 mmol/L.
