A 23-year-old female triathlete was feeling tired during races and her performance was declining. After seeing a doctor, she was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia and a B12 deficiency from switching to a strict vegan diet. The document then provides a sample meal plan for the triathlete that includes vegan foods high in iron, calories, and B12 to meet her nutritional needs. It also proposes a prototype watch that stores B12 patches to help treat her deficiency.

A 5’7”, 125lb 23 year old female is training to be on the
US Triathlon team. She feels tired after or while during
her races; her performances continue to decline and she
wants to go see a doctor. After having laboratory work
done her physician told her she had a combined iron
deficiency anemia and B12 deficiency. The doctor
inquired about her recent dietary change from eating
meat to a strict vegan diet. A female athlete of her
caliber needs to consume about 3,000 to 3,500 calories
per day.
