This analytical study used cross-sectional design with 69 samples of working women conducted in Panteraja Sub-district Pidie Jaya District, in November-December 2016. Research variable that is protein and iron intake was measured used 24-hour recall in 2 days, and hemoglobin level was examined by easy touch. Data analysis is univariate and bivariate using Pearson correlation test. The results showed a significant influence of protein intake (p=0,000 and r=0,7) and iron intake (p=0,000 and r=0,6) on Hb levels in women working in Panteraja District with strong and patterned strength positive. It can be concluded that the intake of protein and iron has a strong effect on the increase of Hb level, that is the increase of protein and iron intake Hb level in woman work increasingly
