Nutrition during Ramadan

Hey Guys,

As many of you will know it is currently Ramadan.

Ramadan is a time where many trainers struggle to keep training and seeing results because of the long term fasting and short eating window. Because of this I thought I would give you all a few tips,

• Ramadan is the perfect time to lose a little bit of chub. Treat it like an experiment in intermittent fasting. track your calories and make sure that you get a good amount of protein to keep muscle!
• Try training fasted first thing before breaking your fast. Many b=get used to it and prefer to have an empty stomach before training.
• As you can't drink water through the day make sure you make a conscious effort to get a good amount in at night. 2-4 litres is best.
• As you only have a short time frame to get some meals in, I recommend focusing on over all calories. Make sure that the meals that you are using foods that are calorie (and more importantly) nutrient dense!
• I've already said it but it needs repeating. You need protein! Make sure you get at least 1g per pound through Ramadan.
