Foods That Keep You Full At Sahur

One of the most important meals of Ramadan days is sahur. Foods that are eaten at sahur are very important for keeping us full all day long. So what to eat in Ramadan to keep full?

Proper nutrition is very important in the month of Ramadan, where many things change from meal order to the variety of food cooked. The golden rule of spending this period healthy, quality and full is to make an adequate and balanced sahur.

Do not forget to drink half a liter of water at Sahur

You can think of Sahur as an extended version of the morning breakfast. In this meal, you should choose foods that are light but also that keep you full for all day long. Drinking plenty of water at sahur to avoid thirst forces digestion, and expels the water that is more than the body's need within 3 hours. Therefore, it is best to drink 2 liters of water between iftar and sahur and drink it slowly. You can complete half a liter of this in sahur.

Avoid main dishes

You should prefer having balanced breakfast rather than main dishes at sahur. Meat dishes, rice, and pasta consumption that are thought to be keep us full are actually makes you feel more hungry and thirsty. Those who have a hard time to wake up and couldn't eat at sahur can consume 1 cup of kefir, 2 dry dates, 3 whole walnuts, which are intestine-friendly and protein sources before bedtime.

Eat dill, parsley and mint to freshen your breath

Greens such as dill, parsley and mint can be consumed abundantly at sahur, as they both refreshes the breath and purifies the body. You can add these greens to your salad, yogurt or kefir as a fine chop.

Eat foods that contain protein

Egg, which is the best source of protein after breast milk, helps us stay full for a long time. You can boil it in a low-fat pan, poached at sahur. You can consume low-salt cheese, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of kefir, ayran with plenty of mint, 1 cup of lactose-free milk. It provides a feeling of satiety with the protein it contains and supports you to spend the next day more easily.

Benefit from the power of vegetables

Purslane, arugula, cucumber, cress, cabbage, lettuce, carrot, parsley and all other vegetables are among the foods that provide the body water. You can make salads with greens at sahur, or you can consume as a bowl of cucumber-yoghourt with purslane and herb. Among the vegetables mushrooms are also one of the alternatives that keep you full for a long time; you can add it to omelet or vegetable dishes.

Consume posed foods, herbal tea, and soup

You can consume 1-2 slices of whole grain brown bread, yogurt, flax seeds, 2-3 tablespoons of oats, 1 handful of walnuts, almonds and nuts. You can consume 1 cup of cinnamon, lemon sliced lime, fennel or black tea. Those who do not want to have breakfast can make soups with lentils, chickpeas, yogurt, oats, chicken with vegetables or quinoa and consume unlimitedly.
