I believe chicken and fish contain a lot of protein and iron. It's probably better for you to eat white meat than red meat, anyway.

Peanut butter = Protein. I do beleive.

Liver has a lot of protein and iron nuts have iron and some protein Green leafy veggies have iron most meats are high in protein seafood, especially sardines are high in iron

Liver and kidneys but yuck!

Basicly if it's green or came from an animal you'll get both iron and protein.

G'day Master Harry, Thank you for your question. Foods rich in iron include red meat, poultry and fish while breads, fruits, breakfast cereals, vegetable, legumes (e. g. baked beans), nuts and eggs are good sources for vegetarians - vegans wouldn't eat the eggs. Red meat contains the easiest source for the body to absorb and it tastes good. High protein foods include meat, eggs, dairy foods, beans, nuts and seeds. An ounce of meat or fish contains 7 grams of protein so vegetarians and vegans should make sure that they eat foods containing plenty of protein.
