Should you eat quinoa in your ovulatory phase?

Quinoa is still a nutritious choice in your ovulatory phase. It shines most in the luteal phase (because complete protein and magnesium keep blood sugar steady when cravings spike), but estrogen and testosterone peak around ovulation. Confidence, libido, and verbal energy are highest, and skin often looks its best.

Verdict

One of the few plant foods with all nine essential amino acids.
