Why this works

High protein alongside moderate carbohydrates helps maintain muscle mass and steadier energy levels during the luteal phase. Roasting instead of pan-frying reduces the overall amount of added fat in the dish. Chicken provides complete protein that supports steady energy alongside muscle mass.
