I eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg, don't smoke, drink moderately (1 drink 3 days a week) work out regularly and still get these. The worst is in yoga, when my feet cramp and I can't do something. Calves in bed close second.

I thought it was from drinking or fasting but there seems no correlation. Age, maybe.

Could be magnesium deficiency.

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I did try taking magnesium- a few times over the years, but it gives me migraines. Like if I take it I wake up the next morning with a migraine. Which is considerably more painful than a leg cramp. Could look for foods with more of it, though, I guess. Good idea anyway, that is plausible.

Calcium supplement really helps my leg cramps. I also take magnesium with the calcium, but maybe try just the calcium.

It might simply be over-exertion. I get cramps when I walk a lot. Maybe your resting position already includes tension in your calves?

Apparently the link between magnesium deficiency and cramps is shaky.

magnesium supplementation compared to placebo for treating idiopathic rest cramps […] Did not significantly reduce cramp frequency
