One of the rules I have always followed is that the
calcium/magnesium ratio should be 2:1 or even 1:1 for calcium to be
properly absorbed. If you look at cottage cheese (1% BF), it provides
only 0.61 g of calcium and 0.05 g of magnesium. That is only about a
12:1 ratio. Therefore, I use a magnesium supplement with my fo/cc and I
also eat nuts and seeds with it which have a favourable
calcium/magnesium ratio. Here are some example cal/mag ratios: Almonds:
1:1.1; English Walnuts: 1:1.8, Filberts: 1:1.5; Brazil nuts: 1:1.3;
Pumpkin seeds: 1:12 (the exact opposite of of the cal/mag ratio in cc).
You may be able to find more and better examples - also in fruits and
vegetables.
