So, I'm definitely struggling with getting the rec'd protein and iron intake these girls and I need on a daily basis. I definitely want to be getting my iron from food sources, instead of a supplement, if possible, since it's my understanding that it's more effectively absorbed that way.

I'm also hitting the point where babies are starting to compete with the space in my stomach and I can't eat as much at one sitting. 

Recs for getting the most bang for my buck with protein and iron? I'm eating red meat, spinach and kale, greek yogurt. I'm feeling like I might need to add in a protein shake, like Muscle Milk, but am hesitant about whether it's good for me/them. Anything drinkable is great though because I fill up slower and can add it in between meals. 

Thanks!
