Parsley and Potatoes
Potatoes fill you up and give you a host of important vitamins and minerals, so one of the foods to eat on the Eve of Yom Kippur is sweet potatoes. When lightly flavored with some lemon juice and parsley, they can be eaten as a snack or as part of your main course.
Salads
On the Eve of Yom Kippur, you can enjoy as much mixed green salad as your heart desires.

You may think that salad is not enough to fill you up and satisfy you, but you might be surprised by how full you feel after enjoying a hearty salad and giving your body all of that raw nutrition that energizes and sustains you.
Seudah Hamafseket
Seudah Hamafseket is traditionally eaten after Mincha in the afternoon. You should finish eating this meal the day prior to the onset of your fasting period. Although this meal does contain light foods, it is surprisingly filling, in addition to being nutritious and sustaining. Put simply, this meal consists of chicken soup along with matzah balls, a boiled or roasted chicken that is served plain and without any spices at all, a salad with some dressing, and a good amount of melon and grapes. When it comes to foods to eat on the Eve of Yom Kippur, this meal will definitely fill you up.
Shnitzel
Another food you can indulge in on the Eve of Yom Kippur is oven baked shnitzel. This is a breaded chicken breast recipe, though you can use turkey breast instead if you prefer. Oven baked recipes ensure that you do not have to spend a long time frying the chicken, and you will not have to use so much oil either.
These are just a few of the foods that you can enjoy on the Eve of Yom Kippur. They follow tradition and they are easy to prepare. They are also surprisingly flavorful, and they’ll help to fill you up so that you can make it through the holiday feeling good.
