She typically eats meat, potatoes or rice and a cooked vegetable for dinner; cereal with milk for breakfast; and a deli sandwich for lunch. What nutrient is likely missing from her diet and causing her symptoms?

Answer 1

Answer:

Iron

Explanation:

Iron(Fe) is very important in the body’s metabolic processes.

It helps in the optimal functioning of the protein which binds to oxygen and carries it to various parts of the body called Hemoglobin.

Iron deficiency leads to anemia(shortage of Red blood cells) and non alcoholic fatty liver( liver fat being accumulated) and reduced the optimal functioning of the liver.
