The PCOS plate: eating steadier without counting calories
No single diet has been proven best for PCOS. What matters is a pattern you can keep. For many people, the simplest pattern is filling the plate with protein and fiber first.
How to fill one plate
Eyeballing is enough; no scale needed.
| Part | Examples |
|---|---|
| Protein | Eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, beans |
| Veggies and fiber | Leafy greens, broccoli, mushrooms |
| Slow carbs | Oats, brown rice, quinoa, lentils |
| Healthy fat | Olive oil, avocado, a handful of nuts |
Why it helps
Protein and fiber slow down how fast sugar enters your blood. Many people with PCOS, at any body size, have insulin resistance, so steadier meals can help with cravings and energy.
