This is a carnivore's salad with turkey bacon and chicken breast kicking up the protein content, plus a little touch of feta and egg if you account for the calories. Delicious. ;)

Carbs in the morning or right after working out is the best time bc then you have time to use that energy. This delicious sweet potato breakfast packs some protein and a lot of cheesy zip.

Here's another recipe from our bikini competition friends. A chocolate and nut butter smoothie that filled 2 glasses when we first made it and filled us up completely. What is it about chocolate and nuts together, not to mention the love of a completely sweet breakfast from time to time. YUM!

Garlic and shallots combine with delightfully collapsed cherry tomatoes to give these seared scallops rich flavor topped with herby goodness. Pair with a large portion of your favorite veggies - broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage - or shirataki noodles.

Vegetables ARE carbs. But unlike starchy carbs that put your blood sugar through the roof, you can load up on fibrous veggie carbs that give you ultimate satiety for minimal calories. Yes, 300 grams is recommended for just one person and you can eat much more than that if you want to. Consider them your secret weapon to losing fat without ever feeling hungry.

You need your veggies. Try to get 2 cups with every meal or at least lunch and dinner. Not just for the vitamins, but also for satiety. You are much less likely to reach for the wrong food when you're stuffed to the gills with low-calorie vegetables. Not being hungry helps you lose weight, so get used to stuffing your mouth with roasted goodness like this broccoli.

This breakfast is budget-friendly and darn simple to pull together if you need to be fast out the door. Whisk together your egg whites and cook in the pan while your rye bread toasts. Slice the apples, then you and your fit body are ready to go. :)

Feta gives this baked shrimp a zip without too many calories added. The tomatoes add the veggie counter balance and textural high note. Garlic, oregano, and lemon make it a melody for your mouth. Take care not to overcook the shrimp and you're in business!

Season the Shirataki noodles in advance and cook the salmon. Then all you need to do when you're ready to eat is warm this up and top with your already chopped scallions, cucumbers, cabbage. Make your dressing in advance too for a quick few spoon fulls and as always, slice the avocados fresh because they are so delicate and like to brown when you turn your back. We could eat this dish every day for a week! So delicious and SO packed with veggies.

When you look at the ingredients, you will wonder, HOWWW is this PCOS-friendly? And you would be right. It is not the MOST friendly recipe we've ever released. But, it is your treat day and you deserve some extra delicious calories on this day if you've been compliant all week. Rye and Sourdough bread is lower GI than white or typical wheat bread, so it breaks down slower to sugar in your system. Light mayo has less fat than full-fat mayo. Same with fat-free (or low-fat) cheddar. So, while it's not PERFECTLY healthy, it is a lighter recipe than it would if you ate it with traditional white bread, full-fat cheese and mayo. So, enjoy! And if you're sensitive to dairy, skip this one. :)

This avocado toast has lots of little healthy ingredient flourishes to give it that extra pizazz - from olive oil spritz to black pepper, lime, pumpkin seeds, and fresh herbs. These little touches will delight you. But at the end of the day, rye toast, avocado, and a fried egg can be the grab and go version and your taste buds will still smile.

A tasty dressing makes and already classic combination that much more irresistible. Avocado adds healthy, filling, good fat to this side and provides the perfect counter to the crisp juicy cucumber. Erythritol and Tamari replace sugar and soy sauce for those who are sensitive or calorie-counting. Toasted sesame oil and seeds deliver that smokey va va voom.

You lay out the watermelon pieces and douse with vinegar, then top with feta, basil. olive oil, salt & pepper. It's REALLY simple and really beautiful to place in front of guests. The only thing more impressive is how it tastes. Yum!

If you grew up on tunafish you may be missing the tangy zip of mayo in your tuna. Full of calories, it's not the first item on any fit lady's diet plan. Tzatziki takes its place in flavor and delight in this simple cold recipe that's paired with Shirataki rice for extra bulk. One bowl-full and you'll sleep like a baby.

Looking for that last little bump of protein before bed or wanting to get ahead during the day. Here's a 20-spot for you. Or 40, if you double it. Tuna is tough to eat plain. But with some tomatoes for juiciness and jalapeños for interest, this little snack will take you there and put a smile on your burning face. ;)

You can't beat the protein pick-up a can of plain tuna delivers. The downside? Choking down dry tuna with little flavor variation. Until now. Now you get all the protein in a bowl dressed with white beans, olive oil, lemon, and seasoning, which means nary a dry bite and much more flavor. Enjoy. You're welcome.

This 'health-i-fied' wok rice dish features Shirataki noodles also known as knojac. The intention is to cook over high, hot heat to attain a smoky flavor. No matter how you cook it, fresh tomatoes and basil, veggies, coconut oil, and Tamari, give you a flavorful, filling side.

Yogurt and frozen mango are the base ingredients for this refreshing Indian staple, made just a bit healthier with almond milk. Add vanilla protein powder if you like. Don't skimp on the cardamom, almond and pistachio topping as it delivers on the exoticism of this cool drink.

Chip & dip is unhealthy. And veggies with plain yogurt is boring. The Greeks got it right when they created Tzatziki. Elevate your treat day snacks while staying on track with this delicious dip recipe. Pair it with all manner of veggies and a few pretzels for a big hurrah on your treat day.

You could pour a bowl of sugar-spiking cereal or pop a pastry, but in almost the same time, you can be nurturing your body & PCOS with this delicious and simple avocado toast breakfast. Yes, it has bread. But it is rye bread, which is lower on the glycemic index, so won't spike your sugar. If you're still concerned, cut the recipe in half and double your egg whites. :) But nothing quite fills and soothes the soul like a heaping helping of healthy avocado fat. Indulge. You're welcome.

In 20 minutes you can pull together this slightly exotic side that will impress your guests and beautifully supplement a high protein dinner with much needed greens. Serve crisp-tender for a beautiful crunch.

If you love peanut butter and chocolate but you aren't visiting the candy aisle due to your big, fat, audacious goals... have we got a treat for you. Peanut buttery, chocolatey, heaven between your fingers. And not too shabby for your biceps either. If you're prone to over-indulging be sure to only take a single-serving and put the rest back in the fridge. Enjoy!

You can simplify this recipe down to 2 ingredients = yogurt & blackberries. The added protein gives your muscles a boost and the xantham gum serves only to thicken the sauce and is a personal preference. Enjoy warm before bed.

Apples and berries are your go-to low-GI fruits if you're in the mood for sweet. And apples taste great with peanut butter. The fat in the nut butter also serves to slow down the rate at which the apple breaks down into sugar in your blood stream, lowering it's already reasonable level on the glycemic index. Just watch your nut butter serving. Therein lies the calories. A little goes a long way. Enjoy! PCOS Nutrition made with love.

As old a combination as time, and for a reason. Celery alone - meh. Celery with peanut butter - yes! The brilliance of this go-to snack is that it doesn't take that much peanut butter or other nut butters to make 3 stalks of celery go down happy. Go for no-sugar-added peanut butter choices. Almond butter is particularly good. We calculated the calories with regular peanut butter, so any substitutions you make will only improve your nutrition. PCOS nutrition made with love.

The pink pepper is mostly for show. But what a pretty pink show it is. Steamed white asparagus is spring's gift to veggie-lovers. Remember to peel white asparagus so every bite is tender and delicious.

The herbs and soy dressing give this fish its Chinese influence and the roasted pistachios add the pizazz. If you have a steamer, perfect. If not, you can rig one. The fish steams as quickly as 8-10 minutes. It's lightly flavored and beautifully presented with fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Using almond milk instead of water gives oat bran more richness. Blueberries add delightful interest, but with the addition of the orange zest, this protein-laden breakfast becomes something really special.

Mug cakes have been making the rounds in the fitness world. Because piping hot sweets don't reveal their protein and almond milk beginnings. They let the deep, rich cocoa powder and stevia-sweetened chocolate chips shine! Enjoy for a perfectly guilt-free treat in the evening or anytime you have a craving.

This dish is lemony, fresh, and delicious. We had it several days in a row and the smell of it cooking or being re-heated is divine. Credit must be given to the ghee in the end that sends that buttery scent through the kitchen. It's not necessarily Italian, but mama mia! Serve with a large side salad or toss in some veggies.

We add protein powder to lots of our breakfasts and snacks to up the protein count, but not this one. Here, you're getting all your protein from egg whites, resulting in a lighter breakfast bowl. Top with berries and dig in.

We love yogurt before bed because it is a slow-digesting protein that helps with recovery and reduces muscle breakdown while we sleep. That's why you see lots of yogurt snacks in our recipe library. They are best before bed. We say this, knowing that some women are sensitive to dairy. But whether you're enjoying real yogurt or dairy-free, the fresh berries and slivered almonds add a little mmmmm.

Take a metric ton of raw spinach and place it on the stove. Just kidding. Sort of. Spinach cooks down to a very small portion so you can always start with an absolutely HUGE amount for one person. We go with 6 cups here. Cook it in a dry pan for just a little longer before adding the egg whites if you like it a little crispy. This breakfast is light. Double up if you like.

Avocado brings smooth hedonism to almost any breakfast. The sheer variety of this simple morning meal with minimal prep will start you off smiling.

This snack is a great top up to your protein for the day touting 19 grams. If you're sensitive to dairy, it works nicely with a non-dairy yogurt, just mind your calories.

With only 4 ingredients, this is an extremely simple breakfast. The incredibly high protein content sets you up for success, especially if you know lunch or dinner will be lower in protein. Not to mention it's outstandingly delicious.

Salmon on the pan is a simple delight. Higher than fat than many recommended proteins, it delivers satisfaction and fullness. Pair it with 450 grams of any veggie or a big salad. We like it topped with rosemary and capers.

You're not exactly eating the rainbow with this salad, just the tastiest color. Enjoy everything green salad ingredients bring, most notably great taste.

The can of tuna packs a healthy protein punch and goes down with you loving every bite when combined with a myriad of varying textures and flavors. From the crisp crunch of the celery, to the zip of kalamata olives and the zing or lemon and Dijon. Your taste buds won't get bored.

The mix of lemon, shallots, garlic, and thyme make a perfect coating for chicken. Want a lighter lemon flavor? Cut the zest and juice a bit.

Steak Diane is a classic recipe and the sauce is known for its buttery deliciousness. Here, clarified butter, or ghee brings the buttery taste without the buttery solids. Is it date night yet?

This fish tastes rich like comfort food with the ghee and chicken broth combination. Thyme and lemon gives it depth. Nothing like delicious and healthy in the same dish.

Our single-serving frittatas are fast to make and versatile to have hot or cold. This Italian-inspired version gives you a punch of tomato and Parmesan. Not the worst way to start your day. Pair it with a little breakfast salad for a perfect meal.

These zingy pancakes hardly need accompaniment. But some plain yogurt and fresh berries add to the deliciousness. Don't you just love the texture poppy seeds add? And 50 grams of protein per serving? Shovel them in! Yum.

Yogurt is a snack go-to if you aren't sensitive to dairy. It's a good source of protein and lends itself to mixture with flavored protein powder. We eat it often. Which is why we're always looking for ways to 'spice it up.' We've done that literally here with saffron and cardamom. Say hello to New Delhi.

Fresh and bright. Perfect for an outdoor summer lunch. 

New and inventive ways to get your veggies is our daily charge. This is one of the highlights in our collection. It is divine. 

If you love horseradish, you'll love this recipe. If you don't love horseradish, you may still love this recipe. Dijon mustard stands up to the horseradish making it a note in the flavor vs. the starring act. Give it a go. The erythritol 'brown sugar' tones down the savoury notes. It. Is. Good.

If you're trying to lose fat, chances are you're eating lots of chicken breasts. That's how it goes. So every recipe that brings interest to our feathered friend is welcome. This dish smacks of Italy. Plum tomatoes, capers, shallots... All the good stuff.

The difference between a flan and crem brûlée is the runny caramel sauce. Vanilla protein, vanilla extract, vanilla sauce, vanilla extravaganza!

In addition to being a delightful treat day snack, these no-bake cookies are a huge life-saver when you're on the verge of wrecking your progress and NEEEEED something sweet during the week. Whip up a batch. They're super fast. We find after eating about half a cookie, the cravings calm and we're good to go. Nice to have on hand for emergencies. ;)

This chocolatey yogurt snack is topped with Lilys Dark Chocolate stevia-sweetened chips. Every word in that description is important -- It has to be stevia-sweetened. It has to be dark chocolate. All Lilys products aren't good for you, so take care. And enjoy!

We love a quick yogurt and protein powder treat in the evening. Use your favorite protein flavor to boost your protein count for the day. Fresh berries brighten.

It couldn't be simpler. Slather fresh asparagus stalks with your olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then broil, baby broil, to a nice golden brown.

It is amazing what can be accomplished with just a head of cauliflower and some olive oil. Brown, roasted cauliflower is one of our favorites.

Fill up the tank with this mega-low calorie veggie side. A whopping 450 g serving is just scratching 200 calories. You'll be full and happy the rest of the night.

Filling up on large veggie sides goes a long way to help us reach our goals. More low-calorie bulk, less snaking. This recipe brings a twist to zucchini in the pan with delicate shallots and browned oat bran. 

Cheesy lemon chicken pasta -- in the most health-building manner. Lemon zest brings the zing. Shirataki brings the flavor-absorbing basis. There's just no replacing parmesan every now and then. Pair with a large serving of veggies.

The reason we have treat day is so that we can still enjoy a lot of the tastes and flavors we love with zero guilt and then our bodies feel a little less tension because we aren't missing out. What's more comforting than a good ole grilled cheese? Just keep your bread low-GI.

If fat-loss is your goal, find a cabbage dish you love, and eat it often. Cabbage is a dream vegetable in that it's low calorie so you can eat more of it! When your belly is full you aren't tempted to snack. You're more satisfied and satisfaction while eating healthful foods is what it's all about. 

Now that we've got the nutrition part out of the way, this recipe is really tasty. The peppers and savory flavorings lift our hero cabbage ingredient to a place of delight. Add in the varying textures of vegetables, tofu, and almonds -- you've got yourself a new favorite. We ate the same daily menu 4 days in a row and this cabbage dish was the one we looked forward to the most. Enjoy!

Not all cuts of beef are created equal, it's true. Filet offers a leaner source of beef protein, and it's a delicious reprieve from chicken and fish. 

Simple grilled or pan-seared chicken breast is hard to beat. Fast, easy, and a delivery mechanism for tasty herbs and spices. Flex those chicken-fed muscles!

We've seen lots of versions of this recipe from different training programs. Stevia-sweetened dark chocolate chips, like Lilys, make it possible. All Lilys chocolates are not great choices, but the dark chocolate baking chips are a staple around here. Walden Farms caramel sauce on top raises this from tasty to, 'Oh my heavens!' We used whey protein, but you can sub your favorite kind, including caesin, which is said to break down a bit better overnight. In any case, delish!

We have served this cauliflower soup at dinner parties and women are always asking us for 'that healthy veggie soup recipe their partners actually like.' Well, here it is - all 4 ingredients! Adjust the amount of stock added to make it thicker or thinner. The thicker version is more like healthy mashed potatoes. The thinner, soup version will warm you through and through. Perfect as a light lunch or as a side to your main protein.

Stevia-sweetened baking chocolate chips have opened the door to enjoying the intoxicating flavor and texture of chocolate to healthy ladies everywhere!

Here you get all the taste and sensory experience with a big shot of protein to nourish your muscles as well as your taste buds.

This Italian pork chop dinner is quick to whip up, but it will seem like it took you a lot longer. As with any pork, not overcooking is key, so keep an eye on your meat. The mix of zest, lemon, rosemary, and pepper flakes excites. Great dish for guests and even better as leftovers. Just warm until sizzling in a pan. Ciao!

This chicken dish comes together pretty fast. We use fat-free, plain yogurt in place of sour cream, but the effect is the same - a creamy tasty texture that envelopes the chicken and keeps it moist while cooking. The chives, yogurt, and onion powder come together to bring the flavor while the panko provides a light crunch. What a tasty way to keep your muscles fed on your day off.

Shiitake mushrooms give this stir-fry a lovely earthy flavor, but any mushrooms will deliver. If you love light tofu and vegetables sometimes to break up the meat monotony, you'll love this dish. The shirataki noodles help to fill you up, but you can rest assured that your full fiber belly will deflate quickly. This turned out to be one of our most satisfying recipes. Enjoy!

This recipe is very simple, yet achieves an interest and tastiness that you can have many days in a row. We had it 4 consecutive lunches and the leftovers were easily reheated and even seemed to improve day to day. The juicy, crisp lettuce grounds the intense chicken flavors. Toasted sesame seeds bring just a smoky touch and texture. One of our new favorites!

Beef broth cuts down on the ghee needed to replace the tablespoons of butter normally featured in a Steak au Poivre recipe. But we keep the buttery flavor. As it is "Steak with Pepper," there is the addition of Sichuan pepper to the typical black pepper. But if you don't have it, you will still be delighted with simple cracked black pepper. The psyllium husk takes the place of cornstarch to keep your fat-free yogurt from separating. But it's just optics. This one's a winner!

We sent this one through the test kitchen 3 times to figure out the best way to get the crumbly topping to work. The stove top was far superior to the microwave and had much less chance of burning, while delivering that sweet, crunchy texture that adds so much interest to the hot, sweet apples. Vanilla stevia protein powder tops up your muscle-building nutrition for the day. Dig in!
