Hello,
I am looking to increase my iron intake. Sometimes its way low then my take in limit. I would like to see what food I can have to increase the intake.
And also, would like to look for some other vegetarian food options, as I am now bored of eating my regular food. ;-)

Knock yourself out. My diary is open. I get the vast majority of my iron in a day from spinach and from soy milk.0

My diary is open! I get plenty of iron every day even without my multi vitamin. I stopped logging it since it has zero calories and I like to see how I'm doing without it. I usually post my recipes in the food notes section on the first day I use it, so usually early in the week, as I tend to make dinners to last Monday-Friday.
I took a look at your diary for this week and my reccomendation is to eat some leafy greens from time to time. Maybe you've got some in those Indian dishes, but leafy greens have a lot of iron, so the more the better.0 -
im pescatarian, but yeh... have a look.0

Also a pescetarian. But if curious, my diary's always open. Some days I eat all vegetarian.0

Vegetarian here, have been since I was 5, but hardly a shining example of a healthy food intake. Today, for example, I ate almost nothing but ice cream. I promise that doesn't usually happen. My logging is a little sporadic, but most days are there.0

You don't want to see mine. mine looks like a graveyard for farm animals.0

You can friend me and see mine as well. I eat a primarily vegan diet/always vegetarian. I've never had to worry about my iron intake.0
-
Feel free to browse mine. I was just looking at yours and it looks delicious! (Although, just curious, do you really survive on 800 calories a day, or are you not logging all of your food?)0

Feel free to add me! I'm a vegetarian 'bulking' so I eat a LOT of protein.0
-
Sure, friend me and check it out!0
-
Have at it, buddy! Add me if you'd like to be able to view it regularly!
ETA: Vegan0 -

Yep my diary is open.0

My diary is open and you can friend request if you'd like. I'm technically a pescatarian though. And I do take a multivitamin (most days when I remember) for iron.0
-
Go for it, open.0

I am a vegetarian.
This is a great link to foods high in iron. http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/food-sources-of-iron.php
Note that non heme iron (non meat) also needs Vitamin C to be absorbed.0 -
Try Lentils and don't forget to take your vitamins!0

Hey there. I am a vegetarian and my diary is open to friends, feel free to add me. I also track my iron in my diary so you will be able to see that too. I manage to be over 100% in iron every day so it should give you some good ideas.
