How much iron should a child vegetarian consume per day?

As much as non-vegetarians. :)

The same page also says that chick peas and spinach are good sources of iron, and that vegetarians are no more likely to be anaemic.

It's really important to get enough vitamin C as it helps with non-meaty iron absorption. Daily vitamin B12 is also really important, and if you're feeling weak it really helps to take it regularly. I don't know, but I am a vegetarian and I eat lots of nuts and tofu. I think soy products will help too.

I am a 11 year old (year 6) and like in our school some people are like really skinny like one boy same age said he was 28 kg and stuff but your normal weight is probably 36 to 48 kg and I am now 37 kg so if you are in that area, your normal!

Also if your not, start losing your weight soon because if your too fat, you will stay fat and not grow.
