So, according to my doctor (who I saw last week), I’m supposed to be getting 1,200 milligrams of calcium daily. That seems like a lot! I’m not a fan of those chewy calcium supplements, so I should try to get it from food.

Ballparking this:

Broccoli: 100mg

Spinach: 100mg

Dried figs: 100mg

Orange: 50mg

Yogurt: 300mg

Cereal: 130mg

Cheese: 170mg

Total: 950mg

You know what this means, don’t you? I need to start drinking milk.

Bleh.

One 8oz glass of milk: 300mg

Everyone knows there’s only one thing that makes milk tolerable – and that’s chocolate. And no, I don’t drink chocolate milk.

I like my milk with fancy chocolates—also unfancy ones, if that’s all I have. Reese’s happen to go great with milk.

So, I will be adding both nonfat milk—and more chocolate—to my diet.

Here’s the selection we picked up at Trader Joe’s the other night.
