Foods that are a good source of iron include:

beans a lentils
greens (mustard greens, spinach, etc.)
tofu
vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, swiss chard, etc.
nuts
egg yolks
dried fruits including raisins, dates, prunes, apricots

Apparent about 18 mg of iron is recommended per day.
Currently with my multivitamin, I get 18 mg of iron as recommended?
Hmmmmm...

I think my next goal is to start what the fitness magazines call 'clean eating'.
So non-processed foods, lots of fruits and veggies and fresh foods.
Shouldn't be too hard minus the fact that I really like cheese whiz...
