Why this PCOS Keto Pizza Casserole - Chicken and Vegetable Pizza Casserole works for PCOS

With 75.8g of protein per serving (about 47% of calories), this PCOS Keto Pizza Casserole - Chicken and Vegetable Pizza Casserole 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 15.7g of carbohydrates per serving, this PCOS Keto Pizza Casserole - Chicken and Vegetable Pizza Casserole 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.
