Non-dairy Calcium Foods
Many green vegetables have absorption rates of more than 50 percent, compared with about 32 percent for milk. In 1994, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported calcium absorption to be 52.6 percent for broccoli, 63.8 percent for Brussels sprouts, 57.8 percent for mustard greens, and 51.6 percent for turnip greens. The calcium absorption rate from kale is approximately 40 to 59 percent. Likewise, beans (e.g., pinto beans, black-eyed peas, and navy beans) and bean products, such as tofu, are rich in calcium. *Also, about 36 to 38 percent of the calcium in calcium-fortified orange juice is absorbed (as reported by manufacturer's data).
Green leafy vegetables, beans, calcium-fortified soymilk, and calcium-fortified 100-percent juices are good calcium sources with advantages that dairy products lack. They are excellent sources of phytochemicals and antioxidants, while containing little fat, no cholesterol, and no animal proteins.

Cheese and yogurt are good choices. There is now the Propel fitness water with calcium if you are looking for something to drink. You could always take a calcium supplement.

Sardines, as they leave the bones (source of calcium) right in them. They are an acquired taste, though. I love 'em!
Should fit in nicely with a young, on-the-go diet. Small portable container, doesn't require refrigeration, and not too expensive.
And men are absolutely *fascinated* by women who eat sardines, for reasons unfathomable to me.

Dairy products in general contain high levels of calcium. If you have a problem with dairy you might try your local health food shop and see if they have a calcium supplement.

Anything Green...lettuce, broccoli, Spinach, grass. Think about it, since milk is from a cow...what does a cow eat to get it's calcium? Grass.

you can take tablets. cheap ones or expensive ones whatever your budget is. and yoguts are really high in calcuim too, milkshake or cheese is really good n all. you dont just need calcium though. you should try eating veg and you will notice your health will improve dramaticly. buy frozen veg if you got no time, it only takes couple of minutes.

MILK, kfc bones, yogurt is cool. cheese i even better take a calcium containing supplement like centrium or pharmaton, alternatively ask your gp for calcichew or adcal, its prescription only so put on a face to get it. show your concern about your bones. are you malnourished?
