This sounds hard to track! Do you have to count milligrams of iron, or keep it under x% of recommended daily allowance, or something else?

I know vegetarians who always cook any kind of tomato sauce in cast iron, because the acid in the tomatoes releases additional iron from the skillet. (Opposite problem from yours - they have to seek out sources of iron, since they don’t eat meat.)
I have to keep my hemoglobin between 13 and 17 and mine was 21 after 3 donations I am at 16 hemoglobin so when I get my number low I will eat what I want and just donate blood.

1 reason is it's cooked in a iron skillet and that adds iron. I can't eat out of a iron skillet
Well I'm no doctor but I don’t think it makes a difference in iron levels unless it's an acidic item like tomato sauce.

And I don't cook sauces in my iron skillets.
