    Fortified cereals and breads, organ meat, seafood, beef, chicken, dark chocolate, tofu. Eating or drinking fruits with high vitamin C helps the iron absorption. It's easier for your body to absorb iron from animal meats than fruits and veg.

    I'm going the fortified cereal and dark chocolate route for the bulk and filling in the rest with meats.
