Potassium

I seem to be falling short on potassium intake. Anybody have any suggestions on how to improve this? I was told that it is very important to maintain my potassium levels. Any thoughts?

eat some bananas and drink coconut water.

I am doing very low carb so many of the best sources of potassium are not on the menu at present.

Most whey Protein powders have a good amount. Flounder and sole are good fish sources of potassium. Swiss chard has a lot. Avocado has a fair amount.. but even with this I was still short and was starting to get leg cramps at night! Electrolyte drinks are good sources but they also have a lot of SODIUM in them which I did not NEED. i already get enough sodium, even too much. I finally found Vitamin Water ZERO the "revive" flavor.. it has 880 mg of potassium.. that's 25% of the RDA.. I've been drinking a bottle a day and it's just enough to fill in the gap of what I'm missing. Other flavors of the Vitamin Water Zero do not have this amount of potassium.. only the "revive" flavor.

^ I am going to look out for this flavor.. thanks!

I'm concerned about this as well. I drink premier or EAS shakes, or V8 daily . They have about 1/4 your daily dose. Salt sense or salt substitute have potassium. Low sodium V8 is higher than regular. Good luck!
