FAQ
- Question:
-
What is the usual meal pattern for a family who follows Halal (e.g., some people pray at 4 am and eat food at that time, but do not consider it as a part of their diet and may not mention it during a 24 hour dietary recall)?
- Answer:
-
Muslims believe that eating is a part of worship, good health and survival. Overeating and self-indulgence is not permitted. The dietary pattern varies from one culture to another, but three meals a day is the standard practice. Prayer times change with seasons and with time of the year. In winter for example, people can pray between 6 to 7 am, while in the summer months it can be as early as 4:30 am. To eat at this time of the morning is a matter of personal choice. Muslim consumers must report all foods eaten within a 24 hour period for the purpose of a dietary recall.Allah (S) knows best.
