as for breakfast cereals - no sugared ones obviously but choose something with oats like no sugar muesli, weetabix(especially the oat one) shredded wheat, porridge. If she craves a biscuit then have a no sugar oatcake and spread a little peanut or almond butter on it as nut butters have a natural sweetness. If she craves something sweet then a few raisins, dried apricots or prunes. Good luck - there is lots of info on the web if you key in the right words! There are quite a few cookbooks for low GI or Low GL foods.

Cramping is likely not related to your salt intake. My first thought would be dehydration as being the cause. Drinking more plain water before and after your exercise would be helpful.
Other than that, low potassium is often a contributor to cramps and potassium rich foods would help.

Tea dehydrates because of the caffeine content....often it has more caffeine than coffee.
If you want hydration then drink water. Or water with fresh lemon juice or lime juice.
Potassium rich foods can easily be found by doing an online search.

The potassium levels of food I have read that kiwi fruit is the highest even above oranges and bananas are the three highest. I am pretty sure your Dr. Can check your levels. Good luck to you.

There are many things that can cause muscle cramps. And sometimes the causative factor is not always identifiable.
There are also muscle spasms, which people mistakenly refer to as cramps.
