when I trained for a marathon, I got leg cramps.
when I was on the Atkins diet, ditto.
I've been told leg cramps often occur because you don't have
enough salt in your diet. when I made sure add salt to my food
the cramps went away. ( I think Gatorade also has potassium
in it to help prevent this.)
hope that helps.
here's the atkins answer:
23. What is best for leg cramps?
ANSWER: Supplements of potassium, magnesium and calcium are needed. Potassium is best replaced by a potassium chloride salt substitute from the supermarket (used liberally).

It may be a potassium deficiency or restless leg syndrome. You should talk to your doctor about it.
