Hello. I am a 27 year old male. I recently had my blood work done, and I found out that while my Hemoglobin level is normal (14.2 g/dl), my MCV and MCH are low (MCV= 69.8 FL. MCH = 23.3 pg). MCHC is normal too (33.3%). Is this normal or dangerous?

A member asked:

I am working to improve my prior poor nutrition, my blood levels were low. Now, my hematocrit is normal at 38.3, but hemoglobin 12.0 (range is 11.5-15.5). Is my hemoglobin still on the lower end? Should I eat more iron rich foods to raise it more?
