Besides Iron and Zinc - keep an eye on daily intake for Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium. I wasn't happy with the increasing number of supplements in my diet, so I set out to hit daily RDIs on macro and micro-nutrients without any supplements. See the evolution of my meal planner tech stack here: https://www.umangsh.com/blog/the-right-tool-for-the-job/

Most repeated food suggestions by the planner:

1. Almonds (Vitamin E), Chia, Pumpkin seeds are micro-nutrient dense.

2. Liver is nature's multivitamin, Chicken/Beef/Turkey liver all good choices (Vitamin A, Iron, Zinc).

3. Eat your greens - mix and match Arugula, Spinach, Kale, Collards, Chard, etc (Magnesium, Potassium).
