High-protein Mediterranean PCOS seven-day meal plan
Updated · Published
The short answer
Dinner rotation: Monday lentil bowls; Tuesday fish with potatoes; Wednesday chicken salad; Thursday tofu with whole grains; Friday bean chili; Saturday egg frittata; Sunday chickpea stew. Include plain yogurt or eggs at breakfast and bean, tofu or fish lunches, with vegetables and carbohydrates throughout. 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 a protein source at each main meal rather than a fixed gram target. Personalized planning can balance convenience, preference and adequate energy; seek individual guidance before increasing protein if you have kidney disease. These are adaptable ideas, not a prescription: no single diet is proven superior for PCOS, and food does not cure it.
