There are differences of opinion on this. Dairy products contain calcium, which helps maintain and build bone mass but also contain a lot of phosphorus which is part of protein.

Phosphorus tends to degrade bone mass as the kidneys excrete calcium when protein intake is high. So it's a wash up. Other sources of vegetarian calcium include leafy green vegetables such as collard greens, sesame seeds, tofu.

Avoiding excessive protein helps save your bones once you are an adult.
