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.

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.
