I am often told by "experts" that the children and I need to
supplement with calcium tablets because we aren't eating dairy. I
finally got fed up explaining how you can get calcium from other
foods so I decided to show them how much calcium I eat on a daily basis.
I fed my food intake for 3 weeks into a program that calculates the
nutrient value. It turns out that I am averaging 1700mg of calcium a
day. Not bad, just have to eat a lot of greens to do it. LOL
I think I am going to do it on the children's food intake before
their next well child visit and take it into the appointment with me
as I am having the devil's own job convincing their ped that they are
having a well balanced diet that contains no dairy.
