Prioritizing protein for the first meal after fasting is important regardless of whether it's plant-based or lean protein like chicken or fish. It helps provide the necessary fuel to rebuild the body and also promotes satiety, leading to better meal decisions later on.
Delay introducing red meat until later on and opt for lean protein instead.
Ending the fast with a protein-rich meal helps stop the body from being in a catabolic breakdown state, which occurs after prolonged fasting periods.
