What do you actually eat on fasting days (Navratri / Ekadashi / other vrats)?
Fasting days come up often — especially around festivals — but what do people really eat on a normal workday vrat? Do you stick to fruits and curd, sabudana/khichdi, singhara-atta rotis, or time a big pre-fast meal? Share one day's real meals (breakfast, snack, main meal) and anything that helps you keep energy while working or travelling.

Evidence-informed context for this discussion
Traditional vrat staples (sabudana, singhara, rajgira) give quick energy but are often high‑GI. To stay alert while working/travelling, pair them with protein and some fat (curd/yogurt, roasted peanuts, paneer, boiled eggs, or chana/rajgira khichdi) to slow glucose rise and prolong satiety. Stay hydrated and include a small salty snack or salted buttermilk/electrolyte drink to replace salts lost from sweat. For portability: roasted makhana, mixed nuts/seeds, or a yogurt cup in an insulated bag. People with diabetes or other medical conditions should adapt portions and check with a clinician.
