    The problem is – how much of the calcium ends up in the ricotta – this site http://biology.clc.uc.edu/fankhauser/Che…
    says that ricotta is made from the whey AFTER other cheese is made, so some of the calcium from the milk will have gone into the base cheese.
    a “glass” of milk is officially 8 ounces which has
    has 306 mg in 8 oz of skim milk (or whole I found) and has about 250 grams mass. So 100 grams of milk would have about 120 mg of calcium *below*http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsou…
    ricotta whole milk cheese has 150 mg per serving (1/4 cup, 62 gm) http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/it…
    (click on nuitition details)
    ** so to get 120mg of calcium from ricotta would take 50 gm or about 0.2 cup of ricotta
