Abstract
In this study, the nutritional composition of milk kefir cream and hunger resistance on its use as a menu of pre-dawn meal were examined. The pre-experimental design of intact group comparison was used on 34 research subjects. The experimental group (n = 17) treated pre-dawn meal using milk kefir cream and cereal while the control group used a complete per-dawn meal menu. The time of preparation, the implementation of the meal and hunger resistance were calculated and recorded. Based on the results of the study, in terms of methods, consuming 250 mL of milk kefir cream and cereal only takes about 7.9 minutes with a hunger resistance of up to 9.4 hours. With this composition and method, it is suggested that the results of this study can be useful to be an effective alternative of pre-dawn meal both in Ramadan and other Sunnah fasts.
