The short answer
Dinner outline: Monday bean salad; Tuesday vegetable pasta; Wednesday fish or tofu with rice; Thursday lentil soup; Friday chicken or chickpea tray bake; Saturday vegetable omelet; Sunday leftovers. Add oat or yogurt breakfasts, bean or leftover lunches, fruit and snacks as needed. These are adaptable ideas, not a prescription: no single diet is proven superior for PCOS, and food does not cure it.
