I'm coming up on 1 year as a veggie and now I'm trying to limit my dairy.. just wondering how much calcium should I be shooting for? It is my understanding that the "magic" # is 1000 mg, but that is with milk consumption. Doesn't your body effecinatly use Ca in foods better then milk? So getting 9g from spinach is better used??? How much Ca should I be getting via greens?
Edited to add... I drink almond milk and the one I drink does NOT have Ca added to it. I'll have to check my store to see what they have. But being in a small town...not sure I'll have a great option.
