Calcium not only helps you build strong bones, but it can help in your weight loss and fitness goals. It has been shown in research conducted that calcium seems to limit the amount of new fat your body can make. Calcium helps fight fat because it increases the thermic effect of eating which means you burn more calories digesting calcium-rich foods than eating food with the same amount of calories with no calcium in them.

Calcium benefits are stronger bones and leaner bodies. Calcium rich foods are:

1 oz. grated Parmesan cheese (314 mg)
1-cup large-curd cottage cheese (126 mg)
8 oz. low-fat yogurt (415 mg)
8 oz. low-fat milk (264 mg)
1 oz. (1 inch cube) Swiss cheese (224 mg)
1 scoop (28 g) whey protein powder (110 mg)
