Foods rich in Iron The table below lists foods high in iron. The table lists all foods per 100 grams (3.5oz) for comparison purposes and because its difficult to estimate an average serving for iron rich foods. Foods rich in iron and the highest source of iron usually come from animal origin for example liver, kidneys and meats. They are a rich source of iron due to the size of the portions eaten as many people can consume up to 200 grams of meat per serving. The table shows some foods of plant origin to contain very high levels of iron such as the herbs or breakfast cereals however, be aware that these foods are eaten in much smaller portions rendering them a lower source of iron rich foods than those of animal origin.   Search our site for more iron foods and nutrition information and advice   Web www.weightlossforall.com Consuming iron rich foods can be essential for effective weight loss. The iron is used to produce red blood cells, these carry oxygenated blood to exercising muscles and enable us to exercise with vigor which helps burn more calories. People with slight iron deficiencies often feel lethargic and may not be as active as people with an adequate iron intake. Oxygen is also needed to enable cells to burn fat completely. The more oxygen supplied to working muscles the more fat can be burned. However this does not mean consuming very high levels of iron will help burn more fat. High doses of iron are not recommended!
