once upon a time, back in my ultra protein days (800g/day...yes, i was an eating machine) there was this one time i took my shirt off and it smelled like ammonia (i studied pharmacy and have used that stuff in the lab), so i throttled back my protein intake and i dont really think it happened so badly again
now, today, i ate practically nothing (up at 9, had a coffee, had a meatloaf sandwich, maybe 50-60g protein, 20g carbs) plus another coffee, then home at 4, doing some building maintinence on an extremely hot day. i never do this sort of thing, and am one of those people that will drop everything so as to eat something according to my diet.
anyway, i took my shirt off,a nd the mofo smelt of ammonia, and so im thinking that it could have been the fact that when you sweat a lot (and i mean, A LOT, i only went to the bathroom once instead of 4-5 times during teh day, and probably had 2L of fluid during the day up to that point) you get rid of a lot of your nitrates through your skin, rather than via urination
...but at the end of the day i figure i just went really catabolic today
oh, on the scales i was dehydrated overall, and down 2 pounds or so off my usual weight at that time for that sort of intake. so it must have been fluid, right? RIGHT? (someone say 'right'
)
