So what do you all eat at Sehr and Iftar and in between?
My routine is relatively unchanged ... shifted breakfast to Sehri and the one main meal of the day to Iftar. Timings in UK are such that we get about 5+ hrs between Iftar and Sehr.
Fried food is a no no ... parathas etc are a no no as well ..
Sehr:
Corn flakes + milk to start with 2-3 dates,
10 minutes later: 3 boiled eggs, 3 toast (1 day off, 1 day on), black coffee, & then water to last minute
Iftar:
Dates, water, then black coffee ...
20 or so minutes later: normal meal that is usually 50:50 protein:carbs + yogurt + salad, followed by black coffee 10 or so mins later
This doesn't breach my 14-16hrs daily fasting rule anyways (to give the stomach a daily break from food), just adds 2 hours to it and without water/coffee. Worked out quite well actually so far but may flip the meals around if energy levels go down over time.
Hooked to black coffee ... tea is problematic for me.
And I do get a little cranky after about 12hrs (Mrs complaining!) ... primarily due to lack of caffeine & nicotine (vaping) ... it will get better over next few days Inshallah.
