Can I eat maggi every day with PCOS?

Daily is not a good idea. Refined maida, high sodium, no protein. Keep it occasional — millet noodles with egg and vegetables, or just eat something else.

What is the glycemic index of maggi?

Maggi has a glycemic index of approximately 70, which puts it in the high range. At a typical serving of 1 serving, the glycemic load works out to about 21 — high. Glycemic load is the more useful number, because it accounts for how much you actually eat.

What should I eat maggi with if I have PCOS?

Millet noodles with egg and vegetables, or just eat something else. As a general rule, adding protein — curd, eggs, sprouts, paneer or nuts — to any carbohydrate meaningfully lowers the glucose response of the whole meal.
