No urology guideline sets a numeric daily oxalate limit. The widely used target — under 100 mg of dietary oxalate a day, with 50 mg for stricter plans — comes from the University of Chicago Kidney Stone Program. Eat normal calcium with meals, which binds oxalate in the gut. Values are estimates from published analyses; they vary by variety and preparation, so trust the band, not the decimal.
