Healthy eating during Ramadan is similar to healthy eating in any other month:
- Eat a variety of foods
- Eat only the amount of food your body needs
- Ensure that you eat plenty of grain products, vegetables and fruit
- Eat a diet low in fat and cholesterol
- Limit sweets and sugary foods

Some tips for eating healthy during Ramadan include:
- Eat slowly digesting foods, especially at the breakfast before dawn (Suhur)
- Eat food with lots of fiber
- Avoid fried and fatty foods
- Drink a lot of water at the breakfast before dawn as well as between the Iftar dinner and bedtime
- Avoid caffeine Suhur, as it acts as a diuretic that can cause the loss of water
