I had my blood drawn like a week ago and it turns out I'm anemic. Ive never had this happen before but I suppose itst because ive been eating very little meats. I don't want to be vegan/vegetarian. I'm just craving more carbs lately than meats. Could be because of stress in my shit life.

How do I make meats appealing again? Any recipes? Shit that isn't meat necessarily that can help my anemia?

Take iron supplements, eating food for iron does nothing if you're anemic.

i feel you op. i haven't been craving any meat besides chicken for like two years now.
the only way i can trick myself into eating red meat with any regularity is in the form of sausages. also sometimes i can enjoy a pork stew but that's only a weekend meal for me, takes too long to make.

Pop a multivitamin and call it a day.

The tablets are very cheap and an easy solution to the issue.
Get some fibre and water, though. They can cause constipation.

Ten times less than you think, though.

Liver is one of the best sources of iron. You can try liverwurst if you don't like straight liver. Plants don't provide as much iron, but you can try upping your vitamin C intake with more raw fruits and vegetables which helps with iron absorption.

This. Iron supplements if you need them are one of the few supplements/vitamins that actually do something other than give you coloured piss.

Op here. And it happenes the same to me.

Thing is I dont even crave chicken anymore. At most minced meat and I bought some a while back and its still frozen in my freezer. I think to myself that i need to prepare it but I dont really want to eat that at all.

I basically eat eggs and sausages at most. I don't even like milk so I'm not drinking any of that. I do like cheese though.

Either way I read that tea is bad for anemia and i live off the stuff. So I probably have to cut back on my tea intake. Because i just drink cups of tea instead of having a meal, and then probably a slice of cheese or bread.

This. Also don't force you to eat something you don't want to if the solution is that easy.

Cook your eggs and sausages in a cast iron skillet. Are you female? I know a woman who had this problem and it resolved itself after she started cooking breakfast in a cast iron skillet every day.

I parsed this sentence but still do not understand it. The words do not go together.

what exactly do you fags do all day? do yoh olan all of your meals based on "cravings"? you sound like massive faggots who crave meat in your ass. i can't believe you are malnourished strictly due to being retarded.
