One thing you can easily eat during the day that also might help your cramping is a banana. Often that sympton relates to potasium. You won't get as much of that from electrolyte drinks unless you have a lot. If you're not using a great deal of energy the food thing shouldn't really be a problem like if you were riding a bike for a 100 miles or running a long distance.
Just make sure you drink plenty of fluids and electrolytes. One way to find out how much you need to drink is to somehow weigh yourself a few times during the day - perhaps at a grocery store, and then drink back the equivilent weight in fluids. A good rule of thumb is 2 ounces every five minutes of exertion (that's about a swig in highly scientific terms), which is 24 oz. and hour when you are really sweating.
