Hi everybody!

Today I learned that most of the fat we get comes from milk, cheese
and other milk products. Are there any other ways to get calcium?

Aged cheeses have a very high calcium/fats ratio. Sure there's someone near
you producing long-aged cheese.
Where are you?

Thanks for your answer! I live in Norway, and we sure drink a lot of
milk and eat lots of cheese.. Hehe, but since I'm planning on loosing
some weight I thought I should start consuming less milk products.
What about nuts? Can I get the amount of calcium needed by eating
nuts? Anyone who knows?

Sure, you can take calcium suppliment tablets, or there are plenty of fat
free dairy products; milk, yogurt, cottage cheese...

Check out this list, you'll want to scroll down past the dairy.

I think your best bet is to take a calcium supplement with
vitamin D and magnesium. The D is not easy to find in nature,
that's why foods are fortified with it. The magnesium is for
calcium absorbtion.

Drink No Fat milk. You get the vitamins and minerals you need by not
the fat. Also Low or No Fat cheeses and other products.

Time to go to a new school. Only people who get most of their fat from
dairy products get most of their fat from dairy products. Other people
don't.

It's hard to get low fat cheese, since the process of making cheese
concentrates the fat. However, it's quite easy to get lowfat or nonfat
milk.

Some people need to reduce their fat consumption. Perhaps you are one
of those people. However, fat is an essential nutrient.

Dark green leafy vegetables contain some calcium. Nuts may contain
calcium (I don't have charts handy) but they also are very high in
fat.

If your country sells defatted milk and dairy products like quark or
yogurt, those would be good for you as well.

Thanks amxine!

Your answer is really helpful. In Norway we do have defatted milk
(0,1%). But I just wasn't sure if low-fat products would impact the
calcium level. But again, thanks.

Skim milk isn't too bad, but the fake cheeses
are horrible. Some of these "cheeses" do not
contain dairy products. Be careful if you're
relying on these products for calcium.

And there's fat free yogurt, plain and in many flavors... I buy the fat free
because two of my cats love it and the vet said it's good for them. I like
fat free yogurt, and it's one of those dairy products that I can't tell the
difference... I love cottage cheese but the fat free version is disgusting,
it's like an inch away from what curdled tofu would be, including the
water... and I'm one of those rare souls who likes Junket rennet custard.

A cup of yogurt has twice the calcium as a cup of milk...

Eat chalk, which is calcium carbonate Calcium tablets with Vit D in
them are cheap. Buy non-fat dairy products. Eat sardines with the bones,
which are soft.

Don't think so. The USDA Nutrient Data Base says 1 cup of whole milk
has 275mg of calcium and yogurt has 296mg. And slight increase. Since
1 quart of milk makes 1 quart of yogurt, it would be necessary to add
additional calcium in some form to double the amount in the finished
product. I add some dried milk when I make yogurt to increase the
nutrition, but I doubt that the commercial ones do. And there is a no
fat milk available that has 500mg of calcium, but that is an
addition.

I'd rather wash down a couple of Tums with a cold glass of water than
drink that junk.
Fat free cheese is even worse.

Then somebody is not making it right...

When I made home made yogurt, I used powdered milk and doubled the
recipe, effectively doubling the calcium content.
