Page 1 of 8 Controlling Calcium and Phosphorus in Your Diet Calcium and phosphorus are minerals that are found naturally in many foods. Foods containing less than one point of calcium or phosphorus may be consumed in unlimited amounts. 1 point (Pt.) = 1 milliequivalent (meq) (1 meq Calcium = 20 mg; 1 meq Phosphorus = 15.5 mg) Foods containing calcium may be selected until you reach points. Foods containing phosphorus may be selected until you reach points. Note: Milligrams were rounded off to the nearest whole numbers; calcium and phosphorus points were rounded off to the nearest 1/2 point.
