Why this Tortilla Pizza Wrap works for PCOS
This Tortilla Pizza Wrap delivers 18.64g of protein per serving, which sits in the moderate range for a PCOS-friendly meal. If you find yourself hungry within 2-3 hours, pair this dish with an additional protein source (Greek yogurt, a boiled egg, or a small portion of fish) to push the meal closer to the 25-35g per-meal target most PCOS dietitians recommend.
The 34.39g of carbohydrates in this serving land in the moderate range that suits most PCOS phenotypes. If your dominant phenotype is adrenal PCOS (typically driven by cortisol rather than insulin), moderate carbs eaten alongside protein and fat usually feel better than very-low-carb eating, which can elevate cortisol.
