The foods that deliver the most calcium for the fewest calories.
The ranking
Most calcium per calorie
Computed from real food data. Milligrams of calcium for every 100 calories.

- Why
- Calcium builds bones and teeth and keeps muscles and nerves firing. Ranked per 100 kcal instead of per 100 g, the list stops favouring foods you eat by the spoonful and shows what gives you the most calcium for the calories it costs.
- Tip
- Leafy greens, low-fat cheese and calcium-set tofu lead. Spinach and rhubarb rank high, but their calcium is poorly absorbed.
