Hi dear, Jaggery and poha are good in iron. You are getting sufficien iron. I suggest your bhabhi to prefer foods like apple, anar, red cabbage, broccoli, some raisins in morning, beet root etc for her iron because she is overweight; and poha contain carbs and Jaggery have high sugar contain I should also recommended her to follow some healthy diet charts to loose her excess body weight.
