7-day PCOS-friendly diet plan
non-vegetarian, Indian
A general pattern — protein-forward meals, whole grains, no added sugar, and food at regular intervals.
What one day on this chart comes to
Seven-day average, per day
1,659kcal / day Day to day the chart runs 1,648–1,713 kcal, with 80–96 g of protein and 34.1 g of fibre — portioned to a 1,500–1,800 kcal band and sitting inside it on the average. No figure here was typed in: each one is the sum of the servings printed below it.

What this chart is portioned for
There is no PCOS diet, and anyone selling you one is guessing. What the research supports is unglamorous: a protein-forward plate, whole grains instead of refined, adequate fibre, regular meal timing, and — where relevant — a modest deficit. That is all this plan does.
Non-vegetarian: In practice most Indian non-vegetarian households eat vegetarian at the majority of meals and put chicken or fish on the table a few times a week. That is how this plan is built — it is not chicken twice a day.
Left out on purpose: Added sugar, sweetened drinks, refined-flour and deep-fried breads are left out of the pools entirely.
Nothing here is imported, powdered or seasonal-only. The chart runs on atta, rice, dal, chana, curd, paneer and peanuts, eggs, chicken and fish, and whatever vegetables are in the market this week — which is the only kind of chart anyone actually keeps to.
How a goal becomes a daily portion
- The goal fixes a band, never a single number: pcos-friendly is portioned to 1,500–1,800 kcal a day with a floor of 80 g protein and 32 g fibre.
- Every meal in the library is a real combination of real servings, each with a stated weight. Nothing is scaled, shaved or rounded to make a total land.
- The build chooses which meals sit on which day so the week falls inside that band and clears both floors, without repeating a meal on consecutive days.
- A day total is the literal sum of the five meal figures printed beside it; the weekly average is those seven printed days divided by seven. Add them yourself and you get the same answer.
- The plate chart re-reads the same servings by group rather than by meal — served grams in, katori and energy share out.
serving = per-100 g value x serving weight (g) / 100 meal = SUM of its servings day = SUM of its 5 meals week = SUM of 7 days per day = week / 7 katori = served grams / 150 g plate % = group served grams / day served grams

How to actually use it
Treat the serving counts as the plan and the dish names as suggestions. Two rotis is the plan; whether they sit beside bhindi or lauki changes almost nothing. If you swap a dish, swap it for something in the same family — a katori of dal for a katori of dal, not a katori of dal for a katori of kheer.
The single biggest source of error between this page and your kitchen is fat. Every figure assumes an ordinary home hand with the oil: about a teaspoon per person in a sabzi, a teaspoon in the tadka. Double the oil and a day like Day 3 gains roughly 200 kcal without a single extra dish appearing on the table.
PCOS is a medical diagnosis with several presentations, and food is one input among many alongside medication, sleep, activity and stress. This is a general pattern for information only. Discuss any change with your doctor or a registered dietitian, particularly if you take metformin or a hormonal treatment, or if you are trying to conceive.

The questions that come after the chart
How many calories a day is this non-vegetarian pcos-friendly plan?
It averages 1,659 kcal a day across the seven days, ranging from 1,648 to 1,713 kcal. The plan was built to a target of 1,650 kcal, which is a common figure rather than your figure — work out your own on the calorie target page.
How much protein does it give?
87.7 g a day on average, with 34.1 g of fibre. Protein comes from dal and chana at most meals, with chicken, fish or egg a few times a week — no supplement is assumed anywhere in this plan.
Can I swap meals between days?
Yes, and you should. The days are interchangeable by design: each one is built from the same pool of meals and lands in the same band. Swapping Tuesday's lunch onto Friday changes nothing that matters. What changes the plan is changing the serving counts.
What does a week of this cost?
Roughly ₹750 of groceries for one adult for the week at indicative metro retail rates, or about ₹110 a day. The biggest lines are eggs, chicken, mutton. That is an indicative figure, not a price index — see the grocery list for the full working.
Is this plan safe to follow?
It is illustrative, not prescriptive. It is built on average composition data for typical home cooking and cannot know your health, your medication, your allergies or your activity. PCOS is a medical diagnosis with several presentations, and food is one input among many alongside medication, sleep, activity and stress. This is a general pattern for information only. Discuss any change with your doctor or a registered dietitian, particularly if you take metformin or a hormonal treatment, or if you are trying to conceive. Take it to a doctor or a registered dietitian before you rely on it.
