Every person is different. Depending on the make-up of your body and how active your lifestyle is, everyone will burn a different number of calories whilst fasting. A weight loss coach or nutritionist can help you work out how many calories you’re using per day, and how many you need to consume in order to lose weight safely.
As a general rule, your metabolism slows down in Ramadan, your energy needs decrease and you actually need to eat less. Remember that iftar isn’t supposed to make up for those hours you spent without food.
Embody can provide you with heaps of iftar and suhur meal suggestions, or connect with you one of our recommended healthy meal plan providers who will create balanced options that are specifically measured to suit your body and your goals.
Training during Ramadan should not differ too much from your training sessions during normal eating schedules. It is worth being aware of your hydration levels as dehydration can lead to an increased risk of injury.
