Questions

How is the amount calculated?

We use calcium per 100 g from USDA FoodData Central for the edible form. Grams of food = target calcium ÷ calcium per 100 g × 100. Portions divide that mass by the portion size in the dataset.

Why plant foods only?

GetaBite focuses on plant foods. The lists highlight common plant sources of calcium.

Is this personal nutrition advice?

No. Reference values from WHO, EFSA, and US DRI are population averages. They are not medical advice.
