Ammonia Smell After Working Out

After I workout, i always smell strong ammonia type of smell. I don't think I smell like it, its just that i can smell it... does that make sense? Anyone know why?

Are you sure the smell isn't more like acetone? Are you low carbing? Could be ketones. Google it.

Low carb was my first thought, too.

I'm averaging 200 carbs/day.

Well that's plenty. Might want to get it checked out.

No need to get checked out that is normal to a point. The best way to minimize this is to increase your water intake. You can also try increasing carbs and decreasing protein but I would try increasing the water first.
