How are you even supposed to space your meals?

With no more than 300 mg of Calcium absorbed at a time and three or four servings required to meet your dv, you need to space each three hours apart. But Calcium also competes with absorption with Zinc, copper and other positives ions so you shouldn’t be taking those in the same absorption frame either. Then there are Phytates, polyphenols and other antinutrients that limit the absorption of minerals so better not have whole grains, nuts, seeds, lentil or beans around your calcium and other mineral intake (even after keeping these in water, the phytate content doesn’t get completely removed, I believe? haven’t explored the phytate literature in depth yet).
