Interesting Factoids

I just thought this was interesting

[Large] Eggs have 43 mgs of calcium. BOILED eggs have 220mg of phosphorus and SCRAMBLED eggs and 190mg of phosphorus. So Boiled eggs have a .20:1 ratio and Scrambled eggs have a .23:1 ratio.

Pork Chops have 10mg of cal to 180 mg of phos to equal a .06:1 ratio

Ground Beef has 18mg of cal to 220mg of phos to equal a .08:1 ratio

Boiled Chicken has NO calcium and 190 mg of phosphorus so it has 0 ratio.

But the BIGGEST surprise is Boiled Shrimp!

3 oz of boiled shrimp has 61mg cal and 11.63mg phos to equal a ratio of 5.25:1

I just wanted to share that apparently there are some places that have a HUGE diff on info.

This site shows 3 oz cooked shrimp has 33.2 mg calcium and 116 mg phosphorus for a ratio of 0.29:1

It's not a big deal to me as I was just showing for "treat" purposes, I am by NO MEANS saying to or to not modify or feed these as the main source of protein in a diet. It just goes to show how much discrepancy there is/can be between sources.

Your numbers should be confirmed with a national database if it were taken seriously not just word of mouth. GG's nutrition database is linked to the USDA nutrients database...

Where did you get your original numbers from?
