Determined Day #188

My iron levels have been extremely low the past 6 months so I am trying different things to increase it.  Recently my friend suggested Post Raisin Bran, as 1 cup provides 60% of your daily iron requirements.  Although it was a delicious treat from my normal egg breakfast, I found myself hungry within an hour and needed a snack. Next time I will pair an egg or two with my bowl of Post Raisin Bran!
