Fat at night and Calcium/Magnesium

Christopheel · Post by **Christopheel** » Thu Feb 21, 2008 3:50 pm

Okay first question, I was planing on replacing last meal's veggie by a small amount of olive oil, to increase total healty fat income per day, tough I've read a lot of time Bossman saying that we should keep cal/fat low at night ... Should I had it somewhere else or fat from proteins sources are enough ?

Second one, is it true that we should'nt take calcium and magnesium together, I brought a Calcium supplement since calciums intake wasen't really high and in this supplements there's magnesium, VitD and Zinc ...

- just add fat to veggies which should have protein too...never decrease veggie intake

- not 100% sure but i think they're better taken seperately

Well I read somewhere many moons ago, that Calcium and Magnesium can be quite competitive. Something about not taking ZMA, and a Calcium supp together. Can't remember the exact timeframe, but it was either 30 mins or 1 hour, between taking one and taking the other.

I can 't be 100% certain on this, but if in doubt don't double them up.

You need about 1,200 mg's of Calcium a day, so why not try this.

Switch Olive Oil for Almonds. Almonds are one of the best non-dairy source for Calcium, that and Soybeans. Quite a few non-dairy have Calcium, but not in great amounts, those two do, can't remember if any others do have significant quantities off hand, but for a Fats source with Calcium booster, take about 1/4 cup of Almonds instead of Olive Oil, should do the trick. 2 for the price of 1 so to speak.

thanks for the feedback !

I will go and look at almonds next time I go to the grocery

I was using calcium supps, because I do not digest pretty well yougurts, milk and any other diary products ... The one that i tolerate the more is milk, but not too much

You could be mildly Lactose intolerant.

Lactose is a combination of Glucose and Galactose, but when the body lacks any or sufficient amounts of the Enzyme Lactase, that's where the problem occurs, in conjunction with the Galactose part.
