The Top Ten Best Foods for PCOS
Why food matters
Food isn’t just calories in, it’s ingredients for your hormones (which are made from fat and protein). With PCOS, the right foods can calm symptoms, balance energy, and support fertility.
There is no one food that can ‘cure’ PCOS or be the answer to all your troubles, but here are some typical foods I include in my clients recipes to make sure they are getting all the ingreidents they need for their hormones to
The top 10 PCOS-friendly foods
Wild salmon – omega-3s lower inflammation and support hormones
Eggs – protein + nutrients for fertility
Leafy greens – magnesium and antioxidants galore
Berries – low sugar, high antioxidants
Avocado – healthy fats for hormone production
Nuts & seeds – zinc, fibre, magnesium
Lentils & chickpeas – plant protein + steady carbs + fibre
Quinoa – fibre-packed slow carb
Extra virgin olive oil – anti-inflammatory fat
Dark chocolate (70%+) – magnesium + antioxidants (yes, chocolate gets a pass)
How to use them daily
Salmon with quinoa and greens
Poached eggs and avocado on seeded sourdough
Berries with yoghurt
A couples of squares of dark choc after dinner (doctor’s orders… kind of)
FAQs
Q: Do I have to eat all 10 every day?
Nope! Mix and match.
Q: Are carbs bad for PCOS?
No! Try and opt for high fibre carbs which spike blood sugar less.
Q: Can I still eat treats?
Yes. Balance, not restriction. Eat the cake because you want not because your body is begging you for sugar (AKA insulin resistance cravings)
