Red Meat Cravings

If you're craving a nice juicy steak, it could mean you have low iron levels or you're not getting enough protein. This is common in people who are either very active or vegetarian, but anyone can get this. 

So how to fix it? Eat meat! But if you don't want to do that, go for lentils, chickpeas, lima beans, almonds, or tofu. If you're worried you might have an iron deficiency, it might be best to get your blood tested. This way your doctor can tell you what to do.
