Why this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Gut-Healing Chicken and Kale Broth works for PCOS
With 28g of protein per serving (about 56% of calories), this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Gut-Healing Chicken and Kale Broth sits at the top end of the 25-35g per-meal range that the 2023 International PCOS Guideline recommends for managing insulin resistance and supporting lean mass. Higher-protein meals also blunt the glucose response when carbohydrates are included, which matters for women with PCOS because chronic insulin elevation drives androgen excess and irregular cycles.
At 10g of carbohydrates per serving, this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Gut-Healing Chicken and Kale Broth is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes. Pair lower-carb meals like this with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables to keep fibre intake up.
Evening meals affect overnight insulin and morning blood sugar more than most women realise. Keeping dinner protein-forward and finishing eating at least 2-3 hours before bed gives your body time to clear glucose before the overnight fast, which improves morning fasting insulin readings.
At 100mg of sodium per serving, this Bone Broth for PCOS Recipe - Gut-Healing Chicken and Kale Broth fits comfortably within the 1500-2300mg daily target most cardiology and PCOS guidance agrees on. Lower-sodium meals are useful for women with PCOS who also experience bloating or who are managing blood pressure alongside metabolic concerns.
