Calcium and Vitamin K?

How do you get these two on a VA-"deficient" diet?

Vitamin K is easy to reach if you consume any vegetables. Peeled cucumbers have some.
You can easily reach RDA with celeriac and fennel.
Calcium is also in many plant foods like some beans, almonds and there are small quantities in grains. The american RDA for calcium is high.

Thank you! Celeriac looks great, I don't know if I've ever had it but I'm going to try it soon. Fennel looks like it has quite a lot of carotenoids, 134 IU per 100g. Peeled cucumber doesn't look fun either, 72 IU per 100g.
By the way while looking for the carotenoid content of celeriac (zero) I found this useful paper: https://sci-hub.se/https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/jf00087a017

I didn't know about fennel, it is recommended in the lutein-free diet which is more or less my starting point.
I'm not aiming for very low A, but I am monitoring how I react to fruits and vegetables to see which one I tolerate better. I never would have considered those being the cause of my health symptoms.
Celeriac tastes a bit like celery. I did enjoy it.

^^for almonds don't eat them raw. Try soaking them overnight and peeling them.

Vitamin K1 and praised vitamin K2 are actually very similar to beta carotene and Retinol(vitA). Both K1 and carotenoids are transformed and actually both accumulate in the liver of animals and in the fat . That similarity is very suspicious to me. I think that Grant also showed as with vitamin C that calcium is used as a protection against vitA toxicity. I think that is the reason why there is the most osteoporosis in countries that consume the most dairy products.

Still curious if anyone has tracked their calcium intake? I track mine as I am a year now on a dairy free diet, calcium and vitamin k are hard to achieve, with the diet I'm currently doing. Can someone put their diet into https://cronometer.com/ --it's free and easy to use--and show us their vitamin k and calcium intake?? Mine is around 600 mg per day which is on the low end. Would just be curious to see the numbers on all their stuff in cronometer with a low vitamin a diet. Thanks.

Yes, I track with cronometer daily. I’m getting less calcium than you. I used to take ground egg shells for calcium early on but I’ve stopped those for now. I’m waiting to get my HTMA results. I’ve pretty much abandoned most of my former health obsessions like caring about calcium: phosphorus ratio and extreme pufa avoidance as examples. I’m going to see how I feel after getting the test results. I did have some k2 in supplement form today because I’ve been taking aspirin recently. Ironically or maybe not my teeth seem stronger than ever since stopping the calcium.
