How much calcium do you need? Build a day and see where you land

How much calcium do you need, and where does it come from? The NHS says 700 mg a day for adults, while EFSA uses 950 mg, so treat them as a range.

Build a day from milk, yoghurt, cheese, enriched plant drinks, tofu, fish and greens, and watch the total against both targets. Estimates only: servings and brands vary. Not medical advice; check with a doctor or dietitian if you have a condition or take medication.
