More Calcium

kristidem

I need more calcium each day. How do you fit it in, and stay within your calories? I'm at a low calorie intake (1200); I find it hard to eat well rounded and get all my calcium. What do you eat with calcium and how much?

I take supplements....

Fat free greek yogurt, and protein shakes made with soy milk get me pretty close to my target but if I'm under I pop a calcium gummy or two. I've never been on 1200 calories though.

A glass of almond or soy milk provides 50% of daily calcium and low calories.

Prior to taking any calcium supplements, check with your doc. Your body doesn't absorb calcium from supplements the same way it will from food--and your body also does not excrete extra calcium. For many people, too much calcium in the system turns into very painful kidney stones.
