So maybe calcium would be good? Are you vegetarian or vegan?

from www.vrg.com "Calcium, needed for strong bones, is found in dark green leafy vegetables, tofu made with calcium sulfate, calcium-fortified soy milk and orange juice"

here's another good website that shows sources of calcium http://pages.interlog.com/~john13/recipes/calcium.htm

Here some websites for a vegan food pyramid, they can show you about how much of different types of foods you should be eating. http://www.veganfoodpyramid.com/ http://www.vegsource.com/nutrition/pyramid_vegan.htm

This one is very similar but shows about how many servings of each food you should get, and it also has some dairy and eggs on it if you are not vegan. http://www.vegsource.com/nutrition/pyramid.htm

Heres a website on how to get different nutrients from a vegan diet http://www.vegsoc.org/info/vegan-nutrition.html

The vegetarian diet can be very healthy as long as you make sure you get enough of every nutrition.

I don't know alot about nutrition so I am hoping this will help you.
