The short answer

Compare unit prices for dried or canned beans, oats, eggs, seasonal cabbage, frozen vegetables and store-brand brown rice. Plan bean-and-rice bowls, vegetable omelets and oat breakfasts using overlapping ingredients. These are adaptable ideas, not a prescription: no single diet is proven superior for PCOS, and food does not cure it.

How to personalize it

Choose recipes with short ingredient lists and realistic cost estimates.
