Plan your meals and water between iftar and suhoor from your local prayer times.
Loading the tool…
How it works
- Enter Fajr (when the fast begins) and Maghrib (iftar) from your local mosque’s timetable.
- Add your bedtime and how much you want to drink overnight.
- You get a timed plan for iftar, your main meal, water and suhoor. Print it for the fridge.
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027, depending on the moon sighting.
Eating and drinking well in Ramadan
| Meal | Good choices |
|---|---|
| Iftar | Water and dates, then soup or salad before a balanced main meal |
| Main meal | Vegetables, lean protein such as chicken, fish, eggs or lentils, and wholegrains |
| Suhoor | Slow-release foods such as porridge, wholemeal bread, eggs, beans and fruit, with plenty of water |
| Go easy on | Very salty, fried or sugary foods, which make you thirstier and more tired |
Spread your drinks out between iftar and suhoor rather than drinking a lot at once. Many people aim for 6 to 8 glasses of water.
Fasting safely
If you have diabetes or another long-term condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take regular medicines, talk to your GP or pharmacist before Ramadan. If you feel unwell while fasting, stop and have a drink.
