Metabolic Health ⓘ
7
Provides moderate benefits for metabolic health through fasting and whole foods but lacks consistent evidence on long-term lipid and inflammatory outcomes.
5
Limited evidence supports its impact on metabolic markers, with potential risks in lipid profiles and inflammation.
Micronutrients ⓘ
7
Provides adequate coverage of most essential micronutrients but has potential gaps in vitamin D and iodine without supplementation or specific food sources.
3
Lacks vitamin C and other essential micronutrients, leading to significant deficiencies.
Nutrient Density ⓘ
7
Offers moderate nutrient density with diverse plant-based foods and lean proteins but lacks optimal phytonutrient variety and bioavailability optimization.
4
Limited phytonutrient diversity and lack of fiber compromise nutrient density despite high bioavailability of certain nutrients.
Overall Health ⓘ
6
Provides balanced macronutrients and cultural dietary patterns but lacks robust long-term scientific evidence for disease prevention and nutrient adequacy across diverse populations.
3
Severe nutrient deficiencies and potential chronic disease risks outweigh potential short-term metabolic benefits.
Sustainability ⓘ
7
Balances cultural adherence with practical flexibility but may face challenges in economic accessibility and long-term adaptation for non-religious populations.
3
Requires extreme dietary restriction, lacks flexibility, and poses challenges for long-term adherence and social integration.
Lifestyle Fit ⓘ
7
Balances cultural integration with moderate flexibility, though travel and social adaptability vary by context.
3
Severely limits social engagement, travel flexibility, and adaptability to personal or cultural preferences.
Practicality ⓘ
7
Offers balanced affordability and accessibility with minimal preparation effort but requires mindful adherence to halal guidelines.
6
Requires significant financial and logistical effort due to cost, limited food variety, and preparation simplicity.
Appetite Control ⓘ
7
Balances protein, fiber, and meal timing to support satiety but may risk overeating during feasting periods.
6
High protein and fat content enhance satiety but lack fiber and may trigger cravings, limiting long-term appetite control.
Fat Quality ⓘ
7
Provides moderate intake of whole-food unsaturated fats but lacks emphasis on omega-3 adequacy and may include saturated fats from animal sources.
5
Provides some omega-3s from animal sources but lacks unsaturated fats and may elevate saturated fat intake.
Fiber Intake ⓘ
7
Provides adequate fiber from diverse whole foods but lacks specific evidence linking to optimized gut or metabolic outcomes.
1
Provides no dietary fiber, severely compromising gut health and metabolic function.
Gut Health ⓘ
7
Provides moderate fiber diversity and some prebiotic/fermented foods but lacks strict plant-based emphasis for maximal microbiome support.
1
Severely lacks dietary fiber, prebiotics, and fermented foods, which are essential for gut microbiome diversity and digestive health.
Hormonal Support ⓘ
7
Provides balanced macronutrients and micronutrients supporting hormone regulation but lacks robust evidence on specific hormonal outcomes.
5
Provides adequate protein and fat for satiety but lacks critical micronutrients impacting hormone synthesis and regulation.
Macro Balance ⓘ
7
Provides a generally balanced macronutrient distribution with adequate protein, moderate carbs, and healthy fats, but lacks specific adaptability for individual goals.
4
Severely restricts carbohydrates and limits macro adaptability, risking metabolic and nutritional imbalances.
Protein Quality ⓘ
6
Provides moderate protein sufficiency with mixed sources but lacks optimal amino acid balance and digestibility compared to higher-quality diets.
9
Provides high-quality, complete animal proteins with optimal amino acid profiles, digestibility, and sufficient quantity for muscle recovery and satiety.
Taste ⓘ
7
Offers a diverse range of flavorful, culturally rich foods adaptable to various cuisines, supporting long-term adherence through enjoyable meals.

Energy Balance ⓘ
5
Provides moderate flexibility for calorie adjustment but lacks structured guidance for consistent energy management.
5
Limited structure for calorie control and flexibility across goals, but high satiety may aid short-term adherence.
Lean Mass ⓘ
7
Provides adequate protein and energy but may risk muscle loss during Ramadan fasting if caloric intake is insufficient.
6
Provides adequate protein but lacks robust evidence for lean mass preservation during caloric restriction.
Athletic Support ⓘ
6
Provides adequate macronutrients and hydration but may lack specific micronutrients if strictly plant-based, requiring careful planning.
