The best way to get the calcium you need is by eating and drinking foods that naturally contain calcium, like yogurt and many other dairy products. On average, yogurt provides between 150 and 400 Mgs. of calcium per 6 oz. container and is a good way to get dairy calcium if you're lactose intolerant. Other sources of calcium include almonds, tofu, legumes, and some green leafy vegetables.

Consult your doctor before beginning any diet or weight loss program. If you are pregnant and/or lactating, your calcium needs may be greater than those of other women. Your doctor can determine your daily calcium requirement.
