Question:
What are calcium proteins?

My doctor just told me to eat more calcium rich proteins...any idea what he means? I know i should have asked, but i had other questions at the time. Does he mean cheese? Please help! I am down 30 pounds in 7 weeks and my doctor said i am losing very slow...    — kittyluver77 (posted on May 17, 2007)

I wonder if he's referring to dairy? If he bought into the big campaign that dairy helps us lose wt? That has been debunked recently and those ads will disappear now. For me, a calcium rich protein is my regular protein supplement with 500mg cal citrate powder added in.

I just did a yahoo search typing in "calcium rich foods" and got a huge amount of hits that list dairy of course. But there are vegetables that are high in calciuma and don't forget the calcium-enriched foods... so check it out and happy web surfing....

My guess is he means cottage cheese, ff cheeses, yogurts, sf puddings, etc. The things that have both protein and calcium.
