Just eat real Italian Parmigiano-Reggiano
Or drink raw milk

Alternatively eat ripe fruits, fruit juice, dates, dark chocolate for a bit of Calcium and Magnesium. Doesn't have much Calcium but it adds up.

Dates, dark chocolate (try to get on with only Choco beans, choco butter and cane sugar), buckwheat, well-boiled Swiss chard or kale has good Magnesium.

I would just boil egg shells for 20 mins, put in oven and then put in coffee grinder to get eggshell powder. Eggshell is simply 99.9% Calcium Carbonate. Eat this powder once a day with a big meal that has no meat, because Calcium chelates and limits Iron absorption.
Calcium carbonate is like 41% elemental Calcium by weight so do the math. 5 grams of eggshell powder would be 2,050mg of Calcium. Max amount I would eat in a day would be 3,000mg of Ca, even at half that it's difficult to get enough Magnesium proportionally to Calcium. Dietary Calcium : Magnesium should be something like 1 : 0.5 , some say even higher Mg but it's difficult to do so practically.

Increasing Calcium intake requires increased Magnesium.

Another solution is boiling a pound of (well-washed) dark green leafy vegetables (Swiss Chard, Kale are good) for 30 minutes, dumping the leaves and drinking the water they were boiled in. Should have some Magnesium and Calcium. You could also eat the leaves, be sure to eat them with some fat as they have a lot of Vitamin K which is a fat soluble Vitamin. Vit. K requires the most fat for absorption out of the fat soluble vitamins.

Does raw milk have a balanced magnesium calcium ratio
 
Where are you from OP?
 
White bread contains 260mg of calcium for every 100 grams, which is more calcium percentage wise than in 100ml of milk.
 
Be sure to take K2 as it shuttles calcium to the bones

Literal sub dog iq responses. (JFL at the idiot advising you to eat white bread)

Do not look for calcium in plants as it is simply not bioavailable.

Make bone broths, stews with the animal bones included. Always cook meat with the bone.

Not sure what you mean by "eating fish bones" but maybe try to eat sardines or other type of small fish that you pretty much snack on whole. That's should be a delicious meal, no need to go autistic by grinding fish bones from bigger fish.

If you can't digest dairy, try raw milk kefir from good source - easiest form of dairy to digest. Mind you, the milk you buy from the store is basically sugary chalk with no nutritional value other than gut damaging calories.

Raw milk or cheeses provide the most bioavailable calcium

Vibration extracted pearl powder is a good alternative to something like crushed egg shell

Sardines have fish bones in them but are really easy to eat. Insanely nutrient dense source of food overall.

Make sure to get 1:1 calcium:magnesium ratio. Magnesium runs 43% of the enzymes in our bodies.
 
1 ounce of almonds give you almost 10% of your daily RDA of calcium. Dairy is not necessary to obtain calcium.
A single cup of sunflower seed kernels contains 109 mg.

1 cup of raw kale contains 90mg of calcium.

Dairy is the cheapest source of calcium, not the only one.
Without calcium supplements, I do admit you would be spending a ton of money daily just to hit that 1000mg daily RDA if you can't have any form of dairy.

For example if you grate 50 grams of cheese, you would get 400mg (depending on the variety, as much as 500+). A single glass of milk has 125mg.
