chicken and turkey...
okay. so for about 9 months or so i've stop eating all red meat regularly.
i mean every three weeks or so maybe a little bit of beef but i dont like eating anything but chicken, turkey, and fish. and i dont think im getting everything i need. like iron.
but i was wondering if there maybe be any way to tell what i need to take instead of eating red meat.
i dont eat regulary but i still eat fruits and veggies and drink plunty of milk.
anything helps. =))

im pretty sure you are getting everything you need. i havent eaten red meat for 3 years and im perfectly fine. red meat is actually very unhealthy for you. im actually a vegetarian. you just have to eat lots of nuts and stuff like that. if you are eating chicken, turkey, and fish you should be fine-- although those arent very healthy for you either.

Cutting out red meat should not mean you will have deficiencies in your diet. In general people should be encouraged to make the sort of change you have made.
You can of course go and get tested as the columnist below correctly suggested. However if I were you I would just take a good quality daily vitamin and mineral supplement. That should more than cover it.

Well to start off... I hope that you stop eating meats in general for a good reason... because we both know that "Meat is dope!" and you're missing alot more than nutrients when you don't eat them. But to stay on topic, you can go to your doctor and have all your levels of bodily needs observed through blood tests. They'll tell you about iron, protein, glucose, cholesterol and etc. But you gotta ask them because they can't read your mind. If you choose to stay on the "no-meat" course after you get your results then let them tell you what you're lacking in and usually you can go into a pharmacy and take the proper nutrients you need in pills or liquids. For example, they have iron and vitamin a-e pills. If you wants more info ask your doctor or simply.. google it lol. Hope this helps.
