Suvidhi Jain, trainer and founder of lifestyle, exercise and nutrition – LEAN by Suvidhi says that it is generally recommended to start your day with water to hydrate your body after 7-8 hours of deprivation. “The first meal should include a combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Protein helps with muscle protein synthesis, hormone production, and body functions. Carbohydrates provide energy, while fats support metabolism and cell growth,” said Jain.

According to Jain, nutrition timing is the fourth priority in a successful nutrition plan, following behavior and lifestyle, energy balance, and meeting macronutrient and micronutrient requirements. “Therefore, certain foods must be consumed at certain times of the day because of their effects on the body,” said Jain while listing the foods:

Sugar: Avoid starting your day with simple carbohydrates such as table sugar, as they can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, leading to decreased energy and disrupting the glucose-insulin cycle. Instead, choose complex carbohydrates to maintain glucose levels throughout the day.

Fruit: Because fruits also contain simple carbohydrates but rich in micronutrients, it is better consumed in the morning or evening rather than as a first meal.

Curd: Curd is a dairy product and a good source of vegetarian protein. It has cooling properties, making it a great addition to your diet during the hot summers. While there is a belief in Ayurveda that eating curd at night can lead to mucus formation, there is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the claim, says Jain.

Milk: Milk contains two types of protein: casein (80 percent) and whey (20 percent). Casein is a slow-digesting protein, making it useful for fasting situations such as sleep. Consuming milk at night provides a sustained release of amino acids, supporting muscles proteins synthesis when the body is at rest, says Jain.

Rice: Rice has a high glycemic index, causing rapid conversion to glucose and the subsequent spike in sugar followed by hunger. “If you eat rice at night, it is advisable to include protein, fat and green vegetables in your diet. This reduces its impact on blood sugar levels and helps you feel full longer,” says Jain.

Pulses and nuts: These carb sources are high in fiber and can be added to meals at night to increase satiety, says Jain.
