good to rule that out then.

God bless you HollyKim for having the strength to honestly, straightforwardly ask...what some of us were silently wondering. Between you and me, my undies arent "so fresh" after a hard workout and I have wondered a) did I **** myself b) sweat a lot c) apocrine glands "down there" d) that time of 'I pulled the ring!" month or e) any of the above...

I agree on the carbs before the workout. (not like a bag of chips...). But a small piece of fruit an hour before you work out should fix it. This assumes your carbs are super low the rest of the day.

Nothing on Dr. google related this to ketosis. It had a separate name. There is no way I would be in ketosis right now.

I just found this: https://www.runnersworld.com/ask-the-sports-doc/burning-prot ein-as-fuel

Peach, how many grams of protein do you eat daily?

Do you smell ammonia (cat pea) when you aren't exercising? Like in your b.o., in your nose or tears, is the top back of your throat a little "cold" feeling or sore? Or do you ONLY smell this during/after your runs in your gym stuff?

Do you smell this residue in your car or bed, etc?

I eat any where from any were from 70-100 grams daily. Nope, don't smell it when not exercising, in my car or bed. No sore throat.

Only noticed after the gym. After running I'm always funky; but never noticed a urine odor.

((hugs)) So it really does sound like the case in Liz's link! This has happened to me before (non-exercise related), because I had a liver injury from taking about a bazillion prescribed supplements a while ago. But I smelled cat pee everywhere, even in my tears, in my nose, throat, bo, sweat, poo, urine, undies, bra, etc.

Just to be on the safe side though, if it were me, I'd go see your PCP to be certain! Will say prayers that it's nothin more than needing more water, a few more carbs pre-exercise, and that's it!

I have noticed this as well lately. At first I thought it was my gym clothes - too long in the washing machine before putting in the dyer -or- my fabric softener was not mixing well with my body. But it happens a lot and I switched scents on fabric softener.

I sweat A LOT more the last few years after being put medically into menopause. I have hot flashes/night sweats during sleep and I know on those bad nights when I wake up drenched in wet sheets/ clothing I smell. Bad. I just figure it's hormonal. My straight hair is now curly - I have no idea what the hell after 47 years...
