Breaking your fast the right way matters. You want energy, not a crash. And your stomach needs something gentle, especially after a long fast.
Start Light
Go for something easy to digest. Think soup, dates, or a boiled egg. Your body is just waking up. Don’t shock it with a heavy meal.
Add Protein
After the first light bite, include protein. Chicken, fish, or Greek yogurt works well. This keeps your energy stable and helps muscle recovery.
Don’t Skip the Carbs
Rice, potatoes, or oats can refill your energy. Just keep the portion small to avoid feeling sluggish.
Hydrate
Water first, always. Add lemon or a pinch of salt if you fasted long. Herbal tea is fine too. Skip soda or heavy juices right after fasting.
Your first meal sets the tone. Keep it balanced, and you’ll feel better for the rest of the day.
