[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are incorporating meat to increase iron, I’d skip chicken and move to beef. Start small. Perhaps make a lentil bolognese and add a small amount of ground beef. Gradually increase the amount of the beef. You could also try this with tacos made with tofu crumbles, add a small anount of ground beef to the tofu crumbles and gradually increase. [/quote]

Chicken doesn't have much iron anyway. A half breast only has about 1mg

Some ground beef would give you more of an iron rich food and the texture might be more palatable for you -meatballs, tacos, etc[/quote]

This is OP. The same amount of beef only has less than 2mg iron. So beef has almost twice as much iron as chicken, but the difference in heme iron (which you get from animal sources) and non-heme iron is the bioavailability. My body isn’t taking up the more than 20mg of non-heme iron I’m getting per day, so my hematologist recommended I try adding a bit of meat. She suggested chicken or turkey.[/quote]
