A flexitarian approach can meet 1000, 1200 mg daily with mindful choices: dairy or fortified plant milks, yogurt, cheese, fortified cereals, tofu, and leafy greens. Spinach and rhubarb have calcium that's poorly absorbed; kale, broccoli, and bok choy are better sources. Pair calcium with vitamin D, magnesium, protein, and regular weight-bearing activity; consult a clinician if you’re unsure about your intake.

Calcium adequacy is feasible on a flexitarian plan via fortified foods and dairy; optimize absorption with vitamin D and magnesium, and monitor total intake with a dietitian.
