No foods reduce Hb: Levels. If you get to redo the test make sure that you are properly hydrated as your level is not that much higher the upper limit of normal. If it persists you may need additional test to determine the cause of this finding. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003645.htm.

A little high: Forget diet as an approach. I am going to assume that you are not taking unknown "health" drinks at the gym -- these may be steroid-laced. Trust you weren't dried out from heavy sweating when CBC done, or mountain-dweller. You'll need to be evaluated for a possible right-to-left cardiac shunt, sleep apnea (would hate to miss that) or some other lung problem, a high-affinity hemoglobin.
