5 days Vegetarian PCOS Meal Plan

15 different vegetarian recipes

Hello everyone,

If you are in the Northern hemisphere, I hope you are entering the autumn mood and getting all cosy.

Today, I want to bring to you a vegetarian PCOS Meal Plan.

I will be honest and say that the vegetarian and vegan diet doesn’t go very well with the PCOS ideal macros. I am completely behind the ethical and climate change reasons for vegetarianism; however, from a nutritional perspective, I think you need to be extremely well-educated in nutrition to be able to get your macros and micros in. We know that a higher protein diet is very beneficial for PCOS, and unfortunately, getting the right amount takes a lot of tweaking and planning. Whilst the vegetables can be incredibly nourishing for managing PCOS, many vegetarian protein sources like beans, lentils, and grains also come with a higher carbohydrate content. While these are complex, fibre-rich carbs that provide essential nutrients, some adjustments may be needed to balance blood sugar and insulin levels better

However, I value everyone’s choices of eating, so I have created a vegetarian PCOS meal plan to maximise protein and micronutrients at its core.
