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 )
