Red meat contains Iron, so perhaps you are low in Iron and feeling anemic, a protein deficiency might cause shaking but I highly doubt you are protein def.. Calcium and magnesium control muscle function, and a lack of either will cause tremors and shaking.
The most likely reason is low blood sugar though. Make sure you eat pleanty of small meals throughoutt the day, avoid sugar but go for slow acting carbohydrates. When I used to skip meals out of laziness, it got harder and harder to eat anything because of nausea.
But if you are worried about Iron, here is some info:
"Disturbances in the ingestion, carriage and absorption will cause deficiency. Patient on antibiotic therapy, strict vegetarian (not even Eggs and Milk), patient of peptic or gastric ulcer...."
If you have taken antibiotics or other medications recently it could have decreased your friendly stomach bacteria and you would absorb less iron in your diet, so you could take a probiotic for a month to build up your gut flora.
"Similarly, Vitamin Folic Acid can cause Megaloblastic anemia. Folic acid is found in wide variety of food such as egg, milk, leafy vegetables, yeast, fruits, liver, and also formed by the intestinal bacteria."
This means it takes B vitamins to absorb Iron properly, so if you don't have enough of those, you will not absorb Iron.
Eat foods high in Vitamin C when you eat high-iron foods to increase absorption.
