Can you mix your proetin drinks with Skim Milk? That will reduce your Calcium chews by 2 a day if you drink 2 w/ skim milk. But you will add calories. 90/cup. Right now, I need that. No way I could eat another 180 calories a day at this point.  I also melt a Citrical Petite in my decaff in the am and am going to crush them in my protein drink. Because I drink 2 cups of skim milk a day, I only need 3 calcium pills. Try the milk if you can tolerate it

I can not drink milk but I don't count the calcuim in any food as my total vitamins I get 1500 g of calcium citrate a day and that probably is the minimum I should be getting.  I crushed 2 calcium pills this morning and put it in water   it was terrible hopefully I will get use to it.because 2 of them is only 400 so it means I need to take 8 of them a day.

8 X 400 is 3200. I was told 1500-2000 per day is enough.

The Citracal Calcium Citrate Petites (serving size is 2 tablets and that = 400 )  So with me taking 8 tablets a day it is only 1600 mg

OH CRAP! I've been reading them wrong. I thought 1 pill was 400. UGH! So now I have to take 6 instead of 3!!!!!!! Sorry about that.
