What do you eat?: Depends what else you eat. You need about 1000 mg of calcium rich foods a day--and enough vitamin d to tell your body what to do with the calcium. Many non dairy foods have calcium: especially tofu, tahini paste, whitefish, shrimp, and sardines. Bok choy, kale, white and navy beans, almonds, apricots, figs and others http://www.Godairyfree.Org/health-info/calcium/dairy-free-calcium-chart.
