Anemic means you need iron, not protein. If you're eating boca burgers and other meat analogues (which are fortified with iron beyond what meat contains), I'd say your body is just having a hard time absorbing it. Eat vitamin C with your food. Good sources of vitamin C are broccoli, strawberries, cantaloupe, spinach, citrus fruits, tomatoes and peppers.
All fruits contain Vitamin C, but the following fruits are a relatively poor source- apples, bananas, grapes, cherries.
Try going on http://www.goveg.com/ there are a lot of recipes.
I agree with JATB.
Anemia involves a lack of iron, not protein. I had this when I was a teenager. You need to start packing in the dark green veggies (broccoli, peas, spinach, boc choy etc) and mushrooms!!!
Try stir fries. It's a quick & easy way of getting a good amount of iron!
