Diet Focus for the Week: Late Night Snacking!

We’ve all been there—it's late, you're relaxing, and suddenly you feel the urge to snack. While there’s nothing wrong with satisfying a bit of hunger in the evening, the choices you make can have a big impact on your health and energy levels. Late-night snacking often leads to grabbing sugary treats or processed snacks, which can add unnecessary calories and disrupt your body’s natural rhythm.

The key to smarter late-night snacking is choosing options that nourish your body without weighing you down. Instead of reaching for chips or cookies, try nutrient-dense alternatives like a small bowl of yogurt topped with fresh berries, a handful of nuts, or even some crunchy veggie sticks with hummus. These options not only satisfy cravings but also provide protein, healthy fats, and fiber to keep you full and balanced.

Another tip? Pay attention to your hunger cues. Sometimes late-night snacking is driven by boredom or habit rather than true hunger. A glass of water or a soothing herbal tea can help determine if you’re actually hungry or just looking for comfort. By choosing wisely and eating mindfully, you can keep your late-night snacking in check and wake up feeling refreshed and energized, inshaAllah!

Daily Goals

👟 5000 steps minimum

💧 1.5 litres (50.72 ounces) minimum

📖 10 minutes reading the Qur'an minimum

👟 Daily Steps Info:

  • Low active: 5,000–7,499 steps/day

  • Somewhat active: 7,500–9,999 steps/day

  • Active: >10,000 steps/day

  • Highly active: >12,500 steps/day


The average U.S. adult takes 3,000 to 4,000 steps per day. However, the more steps you take, the more health benefits you receive. For example, one study found that increasing your step count by 1,000 steps per day reduces the risk of dying from any cause by 15%

💧 Daily Water Considerations (according to Mayo Clinic):

You might need to modify your total fluid intake based on several factors:

  • Exercise. If you do any activity that makes you sweat, you need to drink extra water to cover the fluid loss. It's important to drink water before, during and after a workout.

  • Environment. Hot or humid weather can make you sweat and requires additional fluid. Dehydration also can occur at high altitudes.

  • Overall health. Your body loses fluids when you have a fever, vomiting or diarrhea. Drink more water or follow a doctor's recommendation to drink oral rehydration solutions. Other conditions that might require increased fluid intake include bladder infections and urinary tract stones.

  • Pregnancy and breast-feeding. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, you may need additional fluids to stay hydrated.
