I am also anemic (iron deficient) It is hard to get the iron in. I recommend a supplement but green leafy veggies help (spinach, kale) and of course red meat)0

look 4 breakfast cereals with high iron0

raisins, shredded wheat, red meat, and spinach0

Take a supplement if you are seriously iron defficient. Make sure its a good one. I take Ferro-Gradumet twice a day (I'm Australian but I'm sure you could find something similar). I was diagnosed as severely iron defficient about 3 months ago. Have been taking this supplement twice a day with vitimin c and am slowly starting to feel much better0

baby spinach in your banana (or whatever flavor) protein smoothy. You'll never taste it and can load it up for low low cals.0

Kangaroo! & Spinach are the main two that come to mind.0

Floradix Herbal Iron Supplement works really well. A tad expensive but it'll boost your levels up.0

my nutritionist told me to be sure to have some vitamin C (citrus works well) with any plant based iron (dark leafy greens, edamame, to name a few) so your body can digest more of it more readily.0

I have the same problem. My doctor and the people who work the blood drives tell me I'm anemic, but don't tell me how much iron I should consume a day. I eat cereal with high iron, spinach, romaine and red meat all a few times a week. What more can I do? (Tried supplements once, didn't help at all)0

Oh and an iron pill will help.,Spinach is great as well.0 -
My dr told me I had low Ferritin levels.
I was directed to take 325mg of Ferrous Sulfate once per day for 6 to 12 months.0 -
DARK CHOCOLATE!!! Lindt 85% Cocoa Dark Chocolate (I believe 50g a day) will give you your daily requirement for Iron. If you are already difficient I would also take an Iron supplement. There are a number of supplements that will boost you back up quickly over a week then you can change your diet. Personally I have found it difficult to eat dark chocolate consistently, so I take a daily Swisse Iron Tablet.0

iron pill, spinach, liver(i know its an organ meat, so only eat that like once or twice a month)...i love liver and onions!0

Or try adding Tablespoon of molasses to hot cereal. Simple yet effective.
I even have a T of molasses straight after a hard workout. Who needs GU or a Powerbar Gel?0 -
