Over all, you would still get some calcium by eating almonds, but at a lot higher calorie cost than from other foods, like milk.
The amount of calcium in a cup of whole almonds, 378 milligrams, is slightly more than in a cup of milk, about 300 milligrams, but you would be consuming about eight times as many calories.
