Ingredients for your follicular phase: egg. During the follicular phase, your metabolism naturally slows down, so you want to eat foods that aid liver detoxification to ensure estrogen buildup doesn't occur in the gut.
Eggs are a follicular phase food because they are high in choline, which is an important mineral for fertility. Eggs also have high levels of omega-3 and are a wonderful source of protein. High FSH levels can lead to menstrual problems including PCOS, and omega-3s are shown to reduce FSH levels. Protein helps increase energy and promotes healthy egg production.
