When I first went low-carb I started having cramps in my calf muscles at night. I googled "low carb cramps" and found a few posts of people who had the same problem and found relief by taking magnesium, calcium, or potassium.

I took a magnesium and a potassium supplement for a couple of days when that happened and eventually they went away. I haven't had any cramps recently. (I didn't take calcium because I was eating a lot of cheese and dairy.)
If I remember correctly, avocado has a good amount of potassium, but even eating avocado wasn't helping me.
