[quote=Anonymous]I would add more beans into your diet on a very regular basis. We make a big batch of beans each week.  This week isa big batch of lentils. Last week was black beans, the week before chick peas.  We also keep frozen and fresh dark greens around.

And I don't see tofu on your list. You need to get your tofu on - it's great protein and iron.  And tempeh.

Anyway, eat your iron foods with a bit of vitamin C (in a pinch I have an Emergen-C with dinner). Mix in some canned tomatoes with the beans, or add salsa, or eat a sliced orange with your meal.

Also, incorporate seeds and dried fruits into a daily snack.    I mix up a snack mix of seeds/nuts, coconut, raisins, dried apricots, and vegan chocolate chips.

Finally, I just don't see a ton of protein on there for energy concerns. If you're anemic or having problems with energy, get more protein.  Bake some banana nut raisin muffins with protein powder. Drink some chocolate soy milk. Make a smoothie with tofu in it.  But get more protein in at each meal until your energy rises.

Are you eating enough generally?[/quote]
