Iftar (dinner) marks the end of a day of fasting, so make sure your meal contains foods from all the major food groups.
What foods to eat during Iftar (dinner/break fast)
Iftar is the time you replenish energy levels so every effort should be made to consume foods from all major food groups: fruit and vegetables, rice and alternatives, as well as meat and alternatives (which include dairy).
To keep your meals healthy, limit the use of oil and opt for steaming, grilling, baking or shallow frying instead. When choosing oils, you should also pick those that are high in unsaturated fats such as canola oil and soybean oil, advises the Department of Dietetics from Singapore General Hospital (SGH), a member of the SingHealth group.
Use this Ramadan to cultivate good dietary habits. By the time the fasting month ends, you will feel healthier.
