I could go without meat for a fair amount of time, but my husband does the meal planning and most of the cooking and he's from a "you have meat with dinner, every day!" farming family, lol. I insist on where the meat comes from, so overall we eat fairly small portions of grass fed (and local when we can get it) meat. I just give myself extra helping of veggies and less meat. I do quite well on eggs and fish, but when I crave red meat there is not much stopping it. I tend to have low iron, so I am sure that is where those cravings come from. I could get away with having meat just once or twice a week, but planning (and paying for) 2 separate meals isn't going to happen. As the kids continue to get older, that might change some as the requirement to eat as a family won't be as strong.
Maybe you could have a nice liver, bacon n onions meal once every 3 or 4 months and that would do you for the iron requirements your bod has.
I have taken iron supplements in the past, they make me horribly sick, even taken with food. I had to take them during my pregnancies and it was utterly miserable.

Folic acid is much better for you. I take folic acid..... 5mg/day, but I'm thalassemic... generally speaking, a normal-dose supplement will do most people. And it has no nasty side effects.
