    3 egg omelette with ham, mushrooms, broccoli, diced tomatoes, and whatever other veggies you like. Maybe pair it with a side of bacon and fresh fruit.

    But otherwise a tasty idea.

    I'm not fasting but have a friend who is, how can you stomach a big breakfast in the middle of the night? Or are you located somewhere where sunrise is a air bit later than 4am (and sunset's at 10pm - don't know how you do it!)

    gotta eat before the sunrises (its actually before our morning prayer which is gonna be around 3:30am), the hardest part is waking up to eat but you eventually get used to it plus its easier when you have your family doing it together. Dinner will be at 9pm...going to be a long day!

    I have a lot of friends at work who will be fasting for Ramadan! :). I would suggest a big bowl of oatmeal, i personally don't like hot oats so i eat mine cold soaked in almond milk. I recently made a really yummy recipe with quick oats, almond milk, a little agave or honey, a little cocoa powder, chia seeds, and frozen cherries. Just let it sit in fridge for a few hours, overnight, or u can eat right away if you don't use frozen fruit. The oats have lots of protein and fiber and healthy carbs to keep you full, same with the chia seeds and healthy fats. I would add lots of fresh fruit, whatever kind you like and enjoy!

    My boyfriend is currently working in Abu Dhabi and they were told they have to observe, not even a drop of water is allowed to pass their lips during day light hours (at least in public).

    I usually stick with masala omelette with tea at suhoor and generally soup at iftar with some grilled meat later. x

    protein shakes are great for suhoor - especially casein! otherwise, chicken and cooked veggies...fruits and cheese. avoiding refined sugar and refined grains really helps
