Fitday really seems to have incomplete listings re: Vitamin K.
I'm on a high K diet, due to osteopenia.
A quick tip re: vitamin K--the greener, or the more intense the "chlorophyll" the higher the vitamin K
Yes, coffee and green tea contain vitamin K.
They recommend 65 mcg for females and 80mcg for males/day.
Here's a quick list:
Per 3.5 ounces:
830-800 mcg
Swiss chard, kale
540-500 mcg
Parsley
440-400mcg
Brussels sprout, spinach
380-300mcg

270-200 mcg
Broccoli, turnip greens, watercress, endive, lettuce leaves, spring onions, sweet peppers, pumpkin, leeks, artichoke, celery, plums, miso, peanutputter, coffe, cauliflower, pinto beans, potato chips
