The only way to know if you are anemic is to be tested for anemia. Then further testing is needed to see what the cause is. In females the most common cause is blood loss from heavy periods. An inability to properly absorb Vitamin B is another common cause. You need to see your primary care doctor to be properly worked up.

Congratulations on having a healthy diet however if you think that you are experiencing symptoms of anemia you will need to see your primary care provider and have blood work done to determine if you are anemic and what kind it is. This will certainly put your mind at ease and provide you with answers to your concerns.
Anemia occurs by three methods; you lose red blood cells, you don't make enough red blood cells, or your red blood cells are destroyed buy some mechanism I.E. Anti-inflammatory meds... so it doesn't have to come just from dietary intake or lack of it. Other mechanisms are involved that could contribute to the anemia, see you definitely need to seek out a primary care provider draw lab work the probable cause of your anemia.

Symptoms of anemia typically center on fatigue, low activity tolerances, muscle fatigue, and some mental lethargy. Our foods can be over-processed - with insufficient minerals and vitamins. Soils from which many of our foods come are worn out, too -- so that our foods do not contain as much as we need. Common deficiencies are iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, Carnitine, and Co-Enzyme Q 10. Each of these serve more than one purpose in our bodies -- but each of these also is essential for muscle energetics. I advise blood testing - to evaluate hemoglobin, iron, B12, D3, thyroid hormone levels plus general metabolic functions: glucose, mineral balances (potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium), liver enzymes, and kidney functions. Most of us in northern latitudes need vitamin D3 supplementation - most females of child bearing age need iron supplementation - many of us need Co Q10 supplementation. Keep in touch - all the best.
May be you should start by describing what you mean by symptoms of anemia so that you and I can be on the same page. I recently had a question like yours where the patient thought his cold intolerance was primarily symptomatic of anemia. Although that was possible it turned out to be from hypothyroidism. Assuming your symptoms are of anemic origin, your PCP will need to test your blood to find out what could be causing it.
Anemia in the face of adequate nutrition suggests heavy blood loss through menstruation (in women), heavy sequestration or breakdown (in sickle cell disease, G6PD deficiency, congenital spherocytosis, tape worm/hook worm infestation, etc.). There could also be problem with utilization of the nutrients, as in chronic lead poisoning, iron malabsorption and folic acid deficiency. So, you need to schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible figure out what is going on.
