What to eat at Suhoor

GOAL: MAINTENANCE NOT DEFICIT

FAT

Good fats are essential for health, providing nutrients such as omega 3, and these need to come from your diet. They help the body to absorb nutrients such as vitamins A, D, E and K, so having some walnuts or almonds in your salad can be beneficial. However, consuming fats can leave you feeling very full, so you won’ t want to consume large amounts at Iftar times.

EXAMPLES

Avocados Avocado oil Nuts and nut butters Seeds Olives Coconut and grapeseed oil Sardines Mackerel
Wild salmon Beef Chicken Turkey
Low fat cheeses( part-skim mozzarella, ricotta and cottage cheese)
Dark chocolate( yes- you read that right)
