Why this exists

Hundreds of millions of people in India keep a fast at some point in the year, and the information available to them is either a recipe listicle or a Western nutrition database that has never heard of singhara. Nobody publishes the useful part: what the permitted food actually carries, what nine days of it does to training, what a jagran costs the following day, and when a fast stops being safe.

VratFuel covers 27 observances and 83 fasting foods, with the serving weight stated and the arithmetic shown.

The rules this site holds itself to

• Practices are described as commonly observed. Customs vary by family, region, community and sampradaya, and this site is not an authority on any of them.
• Nothing here tells anyone their tradition is wrong, or suggests modifying a religious practice for a fitness reason. Where fitness guidance could collide with an observance, it is offered as an option and your tradition gets the last word.
• No fasting or prayer times. Sehri, iftar, moonrise and sunset are local and religiously significant, and getting them wrong would cause real harm. Use your local source.
• Safety warnings are specific to the observance, not a generic line in the footer — because a 36-hour dry fast in November and a Thursday single-meal day are not the same risk.
• Where a fast is not part of a tradition, the page says so. The Gurpurab page exists precisely to be accurate that Sikhi does not prescribe ritual fasting.

Who runs it

VratFuel is built and maintained by Amit Sharma, a marketer based in Auckland, New Zealand, alongside a family of free data tools published at amit.marketing. I am neither a dietitian nor a religious scholar, which is exactly why this site sticks to publishing composition data and describing common practice rather than issuing guidance on either.

How it is funded

Advertising, through Google AdSense, and links to my own fitness challenge at PeakForm. Nothing here is a paid placement and no figure has ever been adjusted to suit an advertiser.

Corrections

If something here misrepresents your tradition, that is the most important kind of error this site can make and it gets fixed first. Tell me.
