Do people really get 4,500-4,700g of Potassium on keto? What about 100% magnesium?

Magnesium is another problem - again, 300mg at minimal doesn’t seem like enough on keto to keep the leg cramps, night twitches and poor sleep at bay - gotta go to 400mg at least, if not up to 800mg to ensure you got reserves. You can get to 100% if you eat an entire bag of shrimp and lots of pumpkin seeds, but again, if you’re consuming salmon there’s not enough head room to consume 450g of shrimp in the same day too.

I would add oysters to that list.

I eat oysters like crazy, love them!

Very even in SMP fatty acids:

NoSalt has 640 mg per 1/4 tsp of Potassium. Himalayan Pink salt fine ground at 1/8 Tsp has 287 mg of sodium. Three times a day I consume 2 servings of both minerals with water. I am starting to like the taste. For Magnesium I use the oil that you spray on. The bottle says you get about 66mg of elemental magnesium for every 4 sprays. After a shower I will spray on at around 50 sprays so I should be covered on the Mag. The salt is a little low but I put salt on almost everything I eat so it should also be ok. I make my mag oil from mag flakes. Its a lot cheaper.

I have had this issue with sodium intake. On keto for almost a year. I run and do HIIT at least twice a week and do strength training 3 times per week. If I eat the recommended 2300mg sodium intake, I would get muscle cramps, heart palpitations and some bowel problems. When I eat more sodium, more than 4500mg. All of these symptoms go away.
