Getting Enough Vegan Calcium

by Leslie

Question:

I don't eat soy and am trying to be vegan. Can you outline a typical day with basic everyday foods that would meet my calcium and protein needs without soy? When I try to add up my protein each day it seems to always come up short. Thanks!

Answer:

Great question about calcium. You can definitely get all your nutritional needs without soy. I have two pages that I think will help you-- one about vegan calcium and one about vegan protein. Both pages contain charts from the FDA detailing grams of calcium and protein in foods.

If you want more detailed information on both calcium and protein, you could also check out my ebook called A Fresh New Vegan You, which offers meal plan ideas to make sure you are getting plenty of each.

The last resource I can think of to help you is Vegan Meal Plans, a month-long meal plan for weeknight dinners that I put together. It focuses on fall and winter vegetables and has menus, recipes, nutritional information, and pictures. People tend to find it quite helpful in ensuring they are getting their nutritional needs.

I hope that helps!
