I’ve had ones so severe I thought my tendons were going to snap, waking me up in the middle of the night and I’m screaming and doing sympathy whines pleading for mercy. I have genuine fear of the bed time calf and/or foot cramp.
Or when you twist or stretch too suddenly and feel a little something go snap in your lower back, that’s when you know yer gonna be using Advil for at least a couple of days.
Most of the time, leg crams are intentional. Not really worried about the few that are unintentional as long as they go away on their own or can be walked out.
Popularly known food sources of potassium (like banana and avocado) aren't super great in a pinch. Coconut water, or beverages like Electrolit / Pedialyte, do a better job. For your regular dietary intake, there are lots of foods better than banana and avocado at getting you the potassium you need.
This post brought to you by the fucking awful leg cramps I used to get when eating a low carb diet.
But on a serious note if you are drinking lots of water but it’s coming out as clear piss and you still feel dehydrated you need more water electrolytes
Also space your drinking out, chugging too much in a small amount of time can kill you from water toxicity or the brain swelling
