I just started SW and as I don't eat dairy or meat I decided that I needed to pay particular attention to a few essential things. One of these is calcium. I use a HEA everyday to have 400ml of unsweetened soya milk,but this only gives me 60% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of calcium.
Calcium fortified soya milk has the same amount of calcium per 100ml as dairy milk, so I thought this must be a problem for other people too. And of all the portions of milk you can have as a HEA unsweetened soya is the beggest serving! So those having dairy must be getting much less calcium than me. How do you top it up? What other calcium rich foods do you include and how?
At the moment I'm just trying to make sure I have all 400ml of the HEA portion. If I don't use it up in cooking or with breakfast I make a milkshake with banana (free) or a teaspoon of cocoa (0.5 on EE). It's yummy! definately recommend it, and it relaxes me before bed. As does a hot choccy made the same way.
Would bevery interested to hear other people's thoughts on this, on whatever plan and whatever you eat!
