I realize even eating 1-2 serves of meat/fish per day can stuff things up with calcium/phosphate ratio. Having a look at the phosphate content in other foods like eggs and oysters, it seems they even have a phosphate content of around 200mg or more, when eating a decent serve (75g - 150g).
And then on top of that milk contains a good 200mg+ phosphate too!
SO if I eat a serve of meat/oysters/eggs/fish, I have to drink like 3 cups of milk just to get the phosphate/calcium balance back (assuming one cup of milk has around 300mg calcium and 250mg phosphate).
It seems like egg shell calcium is an absolute must if we are to get the phosphate/calcium balance right, as i assume egg shell has no phosphate. Cheese too has phosphate, of course theres more calcium than phosphate, BUT not enough to balance out foods like meat/fish/eggs etc.
How do you guys manage this? Right now im drinking around 4 cups of milk, 1 serve of yoghurt, 50g of parmesan cheese. that brings me to around 2g of calcium a day. but i do have 1 serve of fish and 1 serve of meat.
