It's pretty well known that oxyalic acid in spinach binds up iron, and calcium. That has nothing to do with protein per se. Vitamin C improves non-heme iron absorption if that's what you are asking. Vitamin C can come from many sources other than orange juice, starting with whole citrus fruits, oranges, lemons and limes.... grapefruit. Don't swear off spinach. Just be sure to get the rest.

If you're interested in nutrition tracking until you have a feel for what works for you Kevin, there are some free site like fitday.com where you can do so. Re: protein
