Muscle cramps while losing weight — electrolytes?

do yours hit on the days you barely eat? Mine clustered there and a salty snack in the evening cut the night cramps way down

do yours hit on the days you barely eat? Mine cluster there too, and a salty broth on those evenings seems to head them off for me.

Do yours hit on the nights you barely ate? Mine did and I started keeping a little salt shaker on the table instead of bothering with packets

Mine hit around the low-appetite days too, which surprised me since I'm only a few pounds in. Are yours mostly at night or after you've been on your feet a lot?

Do your night cramps hit more on days you barely ate, or is it pretty random?

idk, did the cramps start after a stretch of really low intake days? Mine cluster around the days I barely eat anything solid, so I've been wondering if it's the food volume or the electrolytes

How much water are you actually getting on those low-food days? I noticed mine got way worse when I was barely eating and drinking less too, so now I keep a salt shaker on the counter and it has cut down the 3am wakeups a lot

Do yours only hit at night, or do you get them during the day too? Mine are almost always in the early hours and I've been blaming the fan in my bedroom.

Do you get them on days you barely eat? I'm only a few pounds in but mine cluster after light-appetite days, which makes me think it's the food drop and not the loss itself.

I'm down about 23 lbs and the night cramps started a few weeks back, so I get the timing question. What helped me was a pickle or a cup of broth in the evening instead of buying powders, since I eat so little during the day

Mostly when I forget to eat much during the day. Pickle juice before bed is the one thing that's actually cut them down for me.

How much water are you actually getting in a day? I was drinking what felt like a lot but still cramping until I started salting my food properly again.

I'm barely into this so I haven't hit the cramp stage yet, but the salty snack before bed thing keeps coming up in here and I've started keeping a jar of olives around for exactly that reason

Do yours hit mostly when you're in bed, or earlier in the evening too? Mine started around week three and only at night so far

Calf cramps hit me around week three and what finally helped was a nightly glass of water with a pinch of salt and a little cream of tartar for potassium. Sounds odd but it stopped the 3am wakeups cold.

Mine hit around week six too and a mug of hot broth with extra salt before bed cut the night twinges way down. Cheap and boring but it did the job for me.

What time of day are the cramps hitting? Mine are strictly after a long stretch of sitting still, not overnight, so I keep wondering if it's less about electrolytes and more about circulation.

Pickle juice sounds odd but it was the only thing that touched my night cramps. Did yours ease off once you changed what you eat in the evening?
