other vegans, what to do about calcium?!

Its rude to answer a question with an insult, dude. She's asking for help from vegans, not bad advice from someone with different values.

Because of heavy promotion by the American dairy industry, the public often believes that cow's milk is the sole source of calcium. However, other excellent sources of calcium exist so that vegans eating varied diets that contain these foods need not be concerned about getting adequate calcium. Sources of well-absorbed calcium for vegans include calcium-fortified soy milk, nut milks (my FAV is almond milk!) and juice, calcium-set tofu, soybeans and soynuts, bok choy, broccoli, collards, Chinese cabbage, kale, mustard greens, and okra.

Grains, beans (other than soybeans), fruits, and vegetables (other than those listed) can contribute to calcium intake but cannot replace these key foods.

When you realize that there is as much or more calcium in 4 ounces of firm tofu or 3/4 cup of collard greens as there is in one cup of cow's milk, it is easy to see why groups of people who do not drink cow's milk still have strong bones and teeth.

Last resort: calcium supplements or chews.

-Broccoli doesn't take all that long to prepare- just buy the precut frozen florets, it only takes like 5 minutes to steam them. 2 cups of broccoli has 12% RDA calcium.
-Almonds are naturally high in calcium (10% in 1/4 cup), but high in calories. Almond butter also contains calcium, but if you read the nutrient facts on almond milk, it actually doesn't contain any calcium naturally unless fortified. So I assume the calcium in almonds is located in the skin or another part that's removed during the process.
-Calcium-set tofu
-Tempeh (4oz has ~12% RDA)
-fortified products (Luna/Clif bars, cereal, plant milks, bagels)
-kale, collard greens, and turnip greens
-blackstrap molasses (2 tsp has ~11%; I use it in baked beans, gingerbread, spice cakes, in heated almond milk, and oatmeal; bit hard to get a hold of)
-cinnamon (1 tbsp has 8%; I put cinnamon on everything- bagels, oatmeal, apples, trail mix, etc)

Less than optimal, but definitely an option, are supplements.

i spend a bit too much time researching veg nutrition :)

The dairy industry has spent billions on their ads to convince us we need milk. But if you look at the facts, the countries that don't consume milk have little to no osteroperosis. High rates are in countries who consume lots of dairy.

Hey!! I do worry about calciumsomtimes...However I do have almond or rice milk on hand....they usually have good amounts of calcium! Not to mention I also have Veg Life Calcium Tablets! (I wouldn't exactly recommend that brand for vegan calcium....but it is the brand I use...(kinda nasty XD but I deal because I don't eat as much broccoli and leafy greens as I should, and they were the easiest ones to find at whole foods since they said 100% vegan XD LOL)

I don't know about calcium, but there's soymilk, almond milk, hemp milk, rice milk.

I eat dark leafy green vegetables and I drink fortified soymilk.
