Are quesadillas good for PCOS?

A quesadilla has protein from the cheese and meat, but a big flour tortilla. Ask for a smaller or whole-wheat tortilla, add chicken and fajita veggies, and pick guac or salsa over sour cream.

What's working

  • Cheese and meat provide solid protein to help keep you full
  • Avocado in the guacamole adds blood-sugar friendly fats

Watch out for

  • White flour tortillas digest quickly into glucose
  • Relatively low in vegetables and fiber

Easy swaps

  • Flour tortillas→Whole wheat, sprouted grain, or low-carb tortillas

    They provide more fiber to slow carbohydrate absorption.

  • Fried tortilla garnish→Fresh side salad or extra pico de gallo

    Adds volume, micronutrients, and fiber with fewer refined carbs.
