Why it can fit a PCOS-friendly week
Garden egg is a good source of fibre and is naturally low in calories, which can contribute to a filling snack without excess added sugar. Groundnuts provide plant protein, fibre, and magnesium, along with healthy unsaturated fats. Together, this pairing offers a more balanced snack profile than carbohydrate-only options, which fits well into a dietary pattern that supports steady energy between meals.
