Are electrolytes okay to take during fast? I like to do a 36-48 hr fast either monthly or quarterly. I feel like death mostly and cannot be a productive human, but I took electrolytes last time from “Liquid IV” and “BodyArmour” and felt so much better. They do have calories tho so idk if it makes it all worthless?

So depends what your goal of fasting is. If it's spiritual, then no. If it's health-wise, it depends. Technically you're breaking your fast when you drink a LiquidIV. It has sugar and other stuff that probably offset some of the benefits you're seeking, although it's not clear.
Instead, I recommend taking salt in your water (zero-calorie), adding a little bit of freshly squeezed lemon (potassium, negligible calories), and a magnesium supplement. All of these won't break your fast and they're the 3 primary electrolytes you want to target while fasting and working out simultaneously.
