calcium calculator

   Are you getting enough?

You could get all the calcium you need each day (800 mg) by eating the following:

  Amount Calories (kcal)
Skimmed Milk Just over a pint 219
Yogurt Whole 17oz 540
Cottage Cheese, Low fat 43oz 1373
Gouda Cheese 4oz 404
Broccoli 51oz 578
Beans 48oz 1680

You should be able to get all the calcium you need from a balanced and varied diet. It's most easily available from milk or foods containing milk, but it's also found in foods such as dark-green vegetables, nuts, grains, beans, and canned salmon and sardines
