For somebody who is 5'1, around 108-110 lbs, and a vegetarian ( I eat maybe 1200-1400 calories a day), how many grams of iron should I be consuming?

Also, how many grams of protein do I need?

Women need about 18 mg per day.
Here is a great list of vegetarian iron sources... I left the meat on so you could see how it is not the best source.
