For some, it is not always easy to get enough protein through food alone, and using protein powders can be an easy way to supplement the amount of protein in your diet.

The protein powder industry has grown massively, and with so many options out there, you may be wondering, what is the best protein powder for PCOS? In this article we will explore some of the most common protein powders and explain some of the benefits and drawbacks of each one. Let’s dive in.

Fibre is a type of carbohydrate that can’t be digested by the human small intestine (1). All adults should aim to consume around 30g per day as part of a balanced diet, however recent studies have found that the average adult only consumes around 18g per day (2).

It can be difficult to meet the 30g a day guidelines if you don’t know the fibre content of the foods you typically eat, nor have the time to plan and prepare meals specifically to meet these recommendations. In this post we will discuss practical and easy ways to increase fibre intake and how this could help to ease some of your PCOS symptoms.
