I'm 18yrs old suffering with anemia, i rarely eat and tend to avoid big meals. can you suggest a healthy diet plan for me of what i should be eating?

Anemai in an 18 yr o: If you anemia is recently then you need to eat lean red meats or dark chicken meat, your doctor should check the reason for anemia and may need to check your stool, if female your menstrual periods, and if long term it may be familial. Also avoid excess milk since this can inhibit iron absorption.
