Any lean red meat has a lot of iron in it and it also minimises your intake of saturated fats that are in animal products

Both are good for you, each fruit/vegetable has different vitamins. Therefore as more variety, as better. Vegetables have generally less sugar than fruits.

Meat, spinach, lentils.
If you don't like those you can get a cast iron skillet and cook anything in it.
