is it bad to go over my calcium goal by 45g? my goal is set at 100 but as i was planning my meal for the day, it has gone over by 45...can this be bad? i'm also wondering because there is a chance i may be pregnant :happy: and i want to make sure i'm taking care of my body. thanks in advance for you advice everyone!

    Ok, do you mean that your goal is 100mg? Cuz, 100g of calcium would be 100,000mg and women only need to intake 1,200-1,500mg of calcium/day I'm pretty sure.

    The site does not calculate micronutrients in mg. It just uses % of the US RDI.

    So that means you would be getting around 1500mg of calcium. I would check what the upper limit recommendation would be, but I doubt you'll get toxicity from only 145%, UL at least here the AUS are usually at around 300%.

    So you should be fine. :)

    Oh, I see. When I checked, I didn't even have the option to calculate calcium on my food log. Even when I went into options, it was not one of them.
