High iron foods

Besides red meat & spinach, what else is high in iron...

My ob mentioned that my iron level was fine,but that it was much higher at the start of my pregnancy than it is now, & that I should eat iron rich foods to keep it from dropping more.

Green leafy veggies (spinach, broccoli)

You could also start taking an iron supplement.

Re: High iron foods

To boost the amount of iron in your diet, try these foods:

Red meat
Egg yolks
Dark, leafy greens (spinach, collards)
Dried fruit (prunes, raisins)
Iron-enriched cereals and grains (check the labels)
Mollusks (oysters, clams, scallops)
Beets
Beans, lentils, chick peas and soybeans
Artichokes

And here's a tip: If you eat iron-rich foods along with foods that provide plenty of vitamin C, your body can better absorb the iron.
