Spoiler alert!! Snacking between meals can actually support your goals. When done right, it helps manage hunger and maintain steady energy throughout the day.

To maximize fullness and balance blood sugar, aim to pair a carbohydrate with a protein or healthy fat.

Need some snack inspo? Here are a few of our RD ’s favorite balanced pairings.

• 1 slice whole-grain bread + 1–2 tbsp nut butter
• 1–2 Wasa crackers + ¼–⅓ avocado
• 1 cup berries + 4–6 oz low-fat Greek yogurt
• 3 cups light popcorn (like Skinny Pop) + 1 part-skim mozzarella stick
• ¾ cup pineapple + ¼ cup low-fat ricotta cheese
• ½ cup mango + ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 10–12 whole-grain crackers + 1–2 hard-boiled eggs
• 10–12 whole-grain crackers + 2 oz canned tuna or salmon

Balanced snacks = steady energy, fewer cravings, and happier hormones.

👀 Did You Know?

→ A balanced diet can help manage insulin resistance, a common issue for those with PCOS.
→ Studies show that a diet low in refined sugars and high in fiber can improve hormonal balance.
→ Research indicates that 70% of women with PCOS have insulin resistance, which can lead to weight gain and difficulty losing weight.

Nutrition Tips for PCOS Management

→ Focus on high-fiber foods like leafy greens, legumes, and whole grains to stabilize blood sugar.
→ Include lean proteins like chicken, tofu, and fish to help with satiety and muscle retention.
→ Add anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, chia seeds, and salmon to help reduce inflammation.

When life gets busy—with work deadlines, travel, and shifting routines—nutrition is usually the first thing to fall through the cracks.

Instead of aiming for “perfect,” anchor your day with 3 simple habits:

✅ Hydrate before coffee

✅ Add protein to every meal

✅ Include something green daily

Small, consistent choices > all-or-nothing thinking.
