Curious if you are getting enough calcium in your diet. Spinach and broccoli have some, but you have to eat A LOT of it to get the 1000mg recommended amount.

i am curious too but i don't know how to check for that. would a deficiency show up in blood work?
Which just sort of questions validity of diets like these. How good can they be if you have to supplement fundamental nutrients?

I can do spinach by the fistful, but Kale has a bitterness to it that I don't find all that pleasing to the taste buds.
Baby kale, like baby spinach, is less potent in its flavoring, but still has similar nutritional content. It's much better for salads and smoothies. Regular kale is better for being sauteed in stir fries and as a side.
how about kale chips? i hear they are tasty but does the baking process remove some of the benefits?
I've never made them. Baking things doesn't magically ruin all the benefits, like raw diet fanatics would have you believe. It can't ruin calcium so that's a gimme. Many of the antioxidants will be fine as well. If that's how you eat kale, that's how you eat it. Any way that you can make it palatable is fine by me.
awesome. i've heard they can taste like potato chips, albeit when cooked with olive oil and sea salt. if i could find a healthy alternative to satisfy my salty/crunchy fix i would be in heaven.
