I am not a doctor and this is not medical advice!

If this happens to you, it's time to check your electrolytes! Cramping can be a sign of low potassium. Most healthy people should be aiming for 2g+ of potassium per day.

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.
